Thankful for Family!

Sunday morning... Thanksgiving is over, for which we can be THANKFUL! ... I almost swore off chocolate! All of the food was very good but we hardly had enough pies.. only 7 (or was it 8) for 11 people... next year I'll make Jonah his own .. he loved 'punkin' pie .. especially with the whoop cream! We had a cram-packed three days with all of the 'Judi-side' kids. ..and the best entertainment to be found , in the 'person' of Jonah Rowley Jibson. Before the week-end was over, I think he knew everybody's age and their middle name. .. and probably what shape they were. Little Lucy never sat still and really liked her 'Papa G'. .. she is a little girl who knows what she wants... not unlike her Gramma Judi! Sheena & Britt hosted a baby shower for Kayla and that was fun. She got so many cute things ! .. that little Wyoming Heinie is going to be the best dressed boy in Bedford! Maybe we'll get to see Kayla again when she comes home for Christmas. She'll probably need a whole roll of 'TP' ( just kidding, middle child!) A big Thanks' to our Dottie for putting us up and putting up with us! love from the mama

Today is Thanksgiving eve day... there was a skiff of snow on the ground.. hope it's not a sign of weather to come. I baked my Monkey Bread this morning... ( it was in the 'COLD' oven overnight (as per instructions) and overflowed... I didn't notice the two little globs that had escaped .. they burned onto the rack and pretty much smoked up the place...and messed up the oven! I gotta do the pies and then

CLEAN the oven

... then I'll check my list.

I made some Holiday hotpads for the girl's tables .... fall-ish for Judi &
NOEL for Sandi... I'm trying to make a dent in my fabric stash. Anybody else want one?

monday morn madness..

My Monday is starting out slow.. I can blame it on my new 'hobby'... thanks to my dottie for reading my first blog. Today is 'flu shot' day so I guess I'll sign off and get ready to go ... it's a beautiful day here in the 'Rockies'! ..

Today I post for the first time ... and maybe the last! Now.. what exciting things are happening?? Today is 'Big Game' day for the Grizzlies football team.. cross-state rivalry with the Cats from Bozeman. 'Go Griz'! We'll be watching it in the comfort of our own home. Nick & Jessica are over from Helena and are going with Dale & Sandi. I got to see little Kadence yesterday.. sh'e just 11 days old ...she looks like her daddy... she slept the whole time we were there. Guess that will do it for now...
