    Snow threatens, and turkey beckons.

    My mother and husband went out for a few hours grocery shopping yesterday.  Stephen will be orchestrating Thanksgiving, and my mother will be akin to the producer.  She'll help with the turkey and the timing and things like that.

    Her cardinals and bluebirds are out this morning by the feeder.  Or so I assume.  I can see the top of their tree from my perch here, but I would have to go downstairs to see the feeder itself and, probably, the squirrel that also finds his home there.

    I need to blow my nose.

    I don't want to finish my Julian Barnes novel.  He's clever, of course, but this one is a bit too high-brow for me.  It's funny in a cheeky and I'm-better-than-you sort of way, but a friend of mine recommends it, and I trust I'll get something out of each of the things he suggests.  Either that or I can reread an Erich Segal love novel.  Or wake my brother and watch the remainder of season one of The O.C. 

    Now onto blowing my nose and hanging out with my mother, since my dear husband is off socializing and lunching with his crew before work.  Silly boy.

    I love turkey day--the only day of secular religion based entirely on FOOD.

    And you want a good author? Michael Stackpole. I swear it.

    Hmm, so what's your role in the production? I'm the eater, after I help decide what to eat. I like to think of myself as an executive producer, AND consumer.

    Glad to see things are going well. Let me know how that book is when you're done reading it. It sounds interesting.

    Hello,
    Snow and a turkey. I think sounds nice.

    Here it is cold, no snow tho, a turkey perhaps..

    Your Mom and your husband must get along well, that is a very good thing.

    Peace and Love:)

    Cardinals and bluebirds! I love them both-the colors are so wow. Are you trying to get over a cold, or do you have allergies? How cool that ma and hubby are doing the planning and the fixing! ryc: I loved watching Jon Stewart! I changed our cable service to just antenna, so we don't get Comedy Channel anymore, but, oh well. ryc: Thank you!
