Well, looks like the intestinal bug has hit my house…comparatively mild by virus standards, but here nonetheless. We’re also supposed to get hit with a whopper of a storm up here, so power may be iffy. (Thinking of you S.T. and hoping your flights aren’t affected.) Since it might be a bit quiet around here for a couple of days, I’ll leave you with this:
Music is the backdrop of our lives, and that is most apparent during the Christmas season. I share with you a small collection of my favorites. Enjoy!
My very favorite…I listen to this one first to put me in the right frame of mind…It helps me keep Christmas in perspective.
And then Zan and I dance in our kitchen to this one every day after Thanksgiving…trust me…the video is much sexier than our dance in the kitchen, with Mister trying to climb up our legs! 🙂
And this one brings back memories! Talk about sexy….
Well, I still have a list the length of my arm to finish by Wednesday even though we’ve been going nonstop for a week! I have my sister-in-law’s family coming in from out of town on Wednesday morning, and will be cooking my eleventh annual Thanksgiving dinner for 20 on Thursday. We finished painting the living room yesterday, and hung the rest of the shades. Still have to scrape the paint off four window, paint a radiator, vacuum/dust, scrub the downstairs floors (upstairs got done yesterday), disinfect bathrooms, and clear off the dining room table that is still piled with all the stuff we moved in order to paint the living room. BUT, I *think* it will all get done with time to spare if Mister Baby Boy chooses to be cooperative today.
In any case, I don’t know if I will get a chance to post again before the holiday, so I wanted to wish you all a very Happy Thanksgiving! There are so many things I am thankful for, I couldn’t even begin to list them all…I’d be here all day! But I will say that on that list are all of you who stop by here each day…you have taught me how to “see” and that has been a very precious gift. Thank you!
Only Gordon Ramsay would make his children fatten up the turkeys for their holiday celebration. If you’re not into watching turkeys get stunned to death and plucked, skip Episode 8. *shudder*

Apparently he moved on to pigs and lambs after this…episodes can also be found on youtube. Happy cooking!
(Me wame’s a bit curdled after watching that bit.)
