Hi Chargergirl and everyone
Hope you are all doing well. Sitting here on a very windy and cool afternoon, watching the leaves being blown off the trees.

Winter has officially arrived here in Michigan. We got about a half an inch of snow overnight - just enough to make everything white. I'm so not ready for this! And as I type this, more is coming down.
Definitely looking forward to the Thanksgiving feast on Thursday. We'll be at my mom's for the day and I'll be bringing the desserts and a veggie dish, probably green beans and mushrooms. Jane, does your son get the whole week off? The girls have Wednesday, Thursday and Friday off.
Welcome to the thread, crazy! Pretty flowers.
Hey pretty girl!!!!
We had a drop in temps, went from 74 on Thurs to 32 and rainy today! No snow but that's expected lol
What desserts are you making? I just watched a cooking show that did green beans, tomatoes, bacon, onion dish. Looked absolutely delish!!!
Hey MsT, Happy Saturday!
That's a big temp drop!
Probably the standard pumpkin pie and whipped cream. The real stuff, of course! I'm always torn between that and the pumpkin cake roll with the cream cheese frosting in the middle. Sooo good. Maybe I'll do that at Christmas.
How's that little granddaughter of yours? Doing well, I hope?
Happy Saturday to you too sweets!!
Well you know us Texans, go big or go home
I love love love pumpkin pie. Me and my little brother are the only ones in the family that like it ... we don't mind.
Now that roll sounds simply delish!! If you do make it let me know how it comes out or you could just share the recipe, just sayin.
OMG, she is just the most precious thing I have ever held and loved. *besides my own kids of course* I can't get enough of her! I'm thankful it's not more than a 3hr drive. I wouldn't be able to handle that and I admire the ones that do.
I hope all is well in your world. Anything new?

Lucky kid gets the entire week off. Of course, it's due to budget cuts, but being 15, he just knows he gets an entire week to sleep in late
Thanksgiving will be at my parents' this year, as it's hard for my dad to get out and about. I'm making pumpkin pies tonight (one for Thanksgiving, and one for us to have at home). I like to use a cream cheese/butter pie crust - yum! Also doing the yams. Plus, since my son doesn't like turkey, I'm making some baked chicken to bring along tomorrow too.
Frosty mornings here, but much warmer than where you are Cgirl!
Seth - what is Las Vegas like this time of year? Hope you have some time off too to enjoy the holiday.

I see the name often among threads but she's an enigma
Libby's Pumpkin roll. I think the recipe is also on the back of the can of pumpkin. It's really good; I've made it several times and everyone that has it, loves it.

Are you all getting together on Thursday? Baby's first Thanksgiving - how fun! Not that'll she'll know what's going on, but it'll be fun for everyone else! LOL
Our exciting evening consisted of popcorn, Ice Age, and Ice Age 2, The Meltdown movie marathon.
Aw, so sorry you're sick and can't be with her.Well I guess I can add that to my list. It looks easy and delish!
Unfortunately, I have the flu. So that means no contact with the baby, I swear she's like crack. I can't get enough!! LOL
The three hour drive is my deterrent, if she lived across the street I might not be able to show such restraint.
I adore the Ice Age movies ... sounds like a nice cozy evening.
I do hope you're feeling better soon! Did you watch the Cowboys/Raiders game?

Enjoy your four days off.
She is an enigma, wrapped in a puzzle, and coated in mystery
She is also a great lit fiction writer, awesome mod, excellent choice for a Thelma and Louise road trip (that ends happily of course!), and generally nice all around good person
Slept in til 9:00 this morning, then did a little pruning in the yard and just finished breakfast. Of course, the kid is still asleep! He can sleep all day long, and then moan about how tired he is.
Had a nice Thanksgiving with family - a ton of food! My brother seemed to last all afternoon fine (he's going through chemo for cancer), and my dad enjoyed all the activity in the house. Washed a mountain of dishes! Now I'm off to pay some bills and get a few groceries. Hope everyone had a good time yesterday
