Thanksgiving is tomorrow. Lots to be thankful for of course, but more on that tomorrow. Yesterday I picked up our turkey, and it came in a bit larger than we ordered. It’s 19 pounds! Reminds me of the size Grandma would cook when we were little kids. My guy brined it for us in salt, sugar, juniper berries, rosemary, peppercorn and water for two days! Should be good.
This morning I’ll get some gravy from Ty’s work for our mashed potatoes and stuffing. No snow up here but the mountain did get some. I think Saturday through Monday is when we get hit. I’m not anticipating a lot at the house but have my shovel ready.
It’s 17 degrees in Denver. I think it’s a little warmer up here, but I haven’t gone out yet. Whatever it is, it’s certainly Thanksgiving or end of November weather.
Lori cleaned up the basement yesterday washing the couch cushions that are always covered with hair, as that’s where Harley goes to hang out when she’s alone. We need a baby gate or something to keep her out of the basement.
Hovey made a bunch of fresh pies. They sell for, get this, $45 a pie, and they can’t make them fast enough. Talk about inflation. I’ll stick with the $5.99 pumpkin pie from Costco.
As I said yesterday, the Dems are already bashing any peace deal for Ukraine. What kind of world is it where Americans bash other Americans for trying to reach a peace deal in any part of the World? Then there’s the six politicians who posted a video telling the military to ignore orders, with the caveat, “if they’re illegal orders”, yet none of them can name a single illegal order from the President. Then when the President says sedition is punishable by death, which according to the Constitution, is true, they say he threatened them with death. Now any person with a brain would know that what he said is “sedition is punishable by death”, so are they actually admitting to sedition? If not, he didn’t threaten them. You can’t have it both ways. But in usual Dem fashion, now they’re playing the victim. Luckily all but the far left with Trump Derangement Syndrome, see through this. Man, I miss the 70’s.
Oh well, at least we have football all day tomorrow. Ty’s off to work and I need to get moving too. Have a great day and God Bless.
