It seems that when I went on vacation from work, I also went on vacation from blogging. As I prepare to go to work I decided it was time to make an entry:
I made TG dinner for Mother, Matthew, Stepan, Jennifer, Daniel, Joanna and me. We had a wonderful time and everyone seemed to enjoy the meal. The turkey was the best ever. Meredith did not stuff her turkey because someone told her it would dry it out. She wanted a moist turkey. Well, I am here to tell you that I stuffed my turkey and it was delicious. I also had canned jellied cranberry sauce and fresh made cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, green beans, and homemade gravy. Mother made a French Pecan Pie and I made 2 Pumpin Pies. We complimented our meal with wine and after dinner Joanna, Jennifer and I shared a bottle of champagne. Joanna is preparing for test taking working toward her PhD in public policy. It is for that reason that she did not go home to San Antonio for TG. The only sour note for the entire day was the resulting score of the Dallas/Miami football game. Blah! Blah! Blah!
On friday, Jennifer and I went shopping. We had fun doing that, but our time was limited because we went to see a movie of Jennifer's choosing. Stepan wrote about it and I commented on what he wrote so double click on movie and check it out.
Leah turned me onto selling books, movies, and CD's on half.com. I added several items to my inventory. When I logged into my account today I had made a sale. I prepared the item for shipment, logged back into the site and found I had made a 2nd sale. It is a great way to unload books, cds, dvds that you will never watch again. I highly encourage anyone interested in doing something useful with those items they will never read, listen or watch to do the same. So far I have sold 6 items and made avout $100.
I made banana nut bread for the first time today. I am tired of throwing away bananas. So, I caught sight of the aging bananas and decided to see how hard it was to make something useful out of them. It was very easy. It was really nice that I had all the necessary ingredients on hand. Also, the house smelled wonderful while it was baking. And I had a small slice and it is very tasty.
I have an early day tomorrow. It is back to work for me.

Your dinner sounds wonderful--Happy Thanksgiving.
