Good morning.
Beryl. Jenn, Ardyth, Kathy, Lynn, Pam.
A completely different journey this morning sailed through without any hold ups.
Must be the timing as we left a little later today.
A sunny day today but wet and windy tomorrow a lot of rain heading our way.
A high of 54F today to fairly mild for the time of year.
Hope you all had a splendid Thanks Giving day yesterday.
Time for the morning fix now see you all soon.😀😘
Hi ice, maybe everyone is on their way to work, collage and school when you usually set out maybe you should try later for the peace of the silent roads !
I’m sick of this windy heavy rain which soaks everything, the grass has grown and my feet are getting so wet feeding my birds ! 😘
I think it is a mixture of both Beryl.
As I said to Ardy I just need to get my timing better.
Lovely and sunny here but looks like we will be having a wet Saturday.😘
Morning Ice
It sounds like you are getting in the going to work traffic that makes it so busy.
Hi Ardy.
I think you are probably right a mixture of school traffic and work traffic.
Just need to get my timing right.lol.😘
😀yes timing is everything
Thank you Ice, we had a lovely Thanksgiving day. 😊
Enjoy your sunny day today before the rain comes back.🌞
How nice you missed the heavy traffic this morning!
Hi Jenn.
Pleased that the day went well for you.
Sorry you are getting that colder weather.
Got to time it right like this morning sailed through town😀😘
Thank you Ice ❤️
Craig and I enjoyed our very simple meal of an all ready cooked rotisserie chicken from the grocery store deli plus our usual sides of mashed potatoes, Stovetop Stuffing and sweet potato casserole.
Happy Thanksgiving Lovely Early Bird People 🦃
Ended up putting the turkey in cold water at 10p Weds night; putting it in the fridge around 5a, and there was still a small block of ice when i started cleaning out the cavity at 8.30a 🙄 Anyway, popped the bird into the oven at 9a; ate around 2p. Chuck did both sweet/mashed potatoes, cole slaw. I stuffed the celery, popped biscuits, in the oven, made gravy after the bird came out.
Simple and tasty I bet ! 😘
Hi Beryl ♥♥ It was and we work well together, so neither of us got too overly tired & got to enjoy our day.
Well done. 👌
Sounds wonderful, Pam 😋
Hi Pam.
Sounds pretty tasty.😘
Happy you had a great meal with your family Pam. That is the best 💗
Happy Thanksgiving

Rick was busy in the kitchen yesterday preparing today’s meal for Rick and I. We will have a 13 lb turkey, dressing, mashed potatoes, gravy, green bean casserole, cranberry sauce that I made and potato rolls and pumpkin pie. A lot of food for two but that is the way Rick does it and we dont have Gary or Laura with us anymore to share our meal with.
Hi Ardy.
You could feed an army with that lot.lol.
Enjoy every mouth full.😘
Yes we will have more food than we can eat!!!!
Yummy Ardy, it all sounds so good. Enjoy your day.😘
Sounds delicious 😋
Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃
I bought a fresh chicken yesterday and we are having that with baked potatoes, cranberry sauce, yeast rolls, gravy and squash ( Denny peels and prepares that). And making a pumpkin pie. 🥧
Wishing all a very blessed day.
Photos of our new van you asked for Ardy. 😀
😊
The back seats fold down into the floor, lots of storage for traveling.
Very nice looking van, Jenn. Congratulations!!
Thank you Kathy.
Very nice Jenn. I am sure you will enjoy this new ride very much!! What year is it?
Thanks for posting
It was sold new in October 24, 2024, so it is a year and a month old.
Our truck was valued almost equally for the trade. A little more which we paid from our savings.
It really looks nice and comfy on the inside.
It is comfy, I love it.
Oh Wow!!! Your new van is really nice; it looks brand new! Congratulations 🤸♀️🤸♀️🤸♀️
Your meal sounds wonderful Jenn.😘
Hope it all comes out good. 😀 We will be eating around 1ish with pie in the afternoon.
We will eat around 3:00
Sounds yummy 😋
Good morning , I hope you all have a wonderful day with great food and the company of your families beside you !😘
Thank you Beryl. This is a day to think of the blessings we have with gratitude.
Thank you Beryl😘
Thank you Beryl ❤️
Good morning. Beryl, Jenn, Ardyth, Kathy, Lynn, Pam. A frost free night but a cloudy start to the day a high of 56F today with showers at times. Hit the traffic this morning sailed through town at this time in the morning yesterday but not today . Took an hour to get through town and home and that is just over 2 miles of travel to get home. The more estates they are building around my town the more traffic they are generating that has to go through the middle of the town to get onto the bypass and then… Read more »
Good morning Ice,
Thank you, this is a special day and many consider it their favorite holiday. I miss family but look forward to Gabe and family hopefully coming for Christmas.
That was awful 2 hours to drive 2 miles! I can’t imagine, the town needs to do something I should think!
Hi Jenn.
Christmas is a very special time for families to get together hope Gabe and family make it.
Nightmare drive this morning time to go back to a horse and carriage.lol.
Like your new vehicle very plush looking seating must be very comfortable.
The town needs a new bigger bypass and it has been on the cards for the last 20 Years would you believe it.
So many hurdles to go through it will never happen any time soon.🙄.
Enjoy your Thanks Giving day 😘
We like the van a lot, comfy and good for Danny to get in and out of. You know he loves to go where we go. Loves riding.
WOW!!! That was a long drive timewise!!!! Why so much traffic.
Thanksgiving is my favorite meal!! I do love a turkey dinner with all the trimmings once a year.
Hi Ardy.
School children parents and their cars.🙄
Thank you Ice ❤️
So sorry about the nightmare drive this morning 😟
🦃 Happy Thanksgiving 🦃 For anyone who has worried if their dinner would be edible: When we 1st moved to Pueblo together, geez, this was back in 2017; it was the 4 of us, DS/Kitty, the DBs and me. I roasted a turkey and it was beautiful. 🦃 That’s it, not a potato, not a biscuit, not a green bean, no stuffed celery, no salad of any kind. Just the bird in its beautiful roasted state, all lonely on the counter. Not even a pie. I had everything, just forgot to cook it. Rick opened the oven to see if… Read more »
