November 23 through 25, 2009

Monday 23~~~~~Thanksgiving day is sneaking up on us, we have two dinners to prepare for, so I am starting my baking early, as the kids stop in and sample the Carmel rolls I serve with my breakfast, so I am baking a pan today for sampling, and I will bake more on Tuesday and Wednesday. Tress, Bodie, Blaize and Billy stopped my for coffee and fresh cinnamon rolls after work. Tuesday 24~~~~Another day of baking, I don't know how I did all this baking and preparing for my big breakfast when I worked those long hard days at the salon. It sure takes me a long time to do anything anymore it seems like but I enjoy it so much now; before it was just another job I had to get done before the holiday. I think I am just a putz er like my mom used to be in her older years, I remember it drove me crazy how long it took her to do anything. Wednesday 25~~~~ Today I baked one more pan of Carmel rolls and my mom's recipe for pumpkin rolls filled with cream cheese, I made two of them, one with nuts and one plain. Lisa, her son Ray and Pammy came over this evening and ate dinner with us and they set the tables for our breakfast in the morning. Lisa likes to scramble the place cards so you have to sit by someone different every year. Bodie got the ugly candle in his stocking last Christmas, so he will be bringing the centerpiece for the table. It is always fun to see what they create with just an UGLY candle!!!!! We had coffee and sweet rolls when we finished our work tonight before the girls went home. They sure are a big help for me by getting the tables set and all the serving bowls set aside. It is a lot of work setting the tables for this many people. I have posted a picture of Pepsi sitting in the pantry window watching the neighbors kitty kat that we feed and have a nice warm bed we keep on our patio for him. We all (Pepsi, Kent & Sharon ) are all attached to this cat and we have named him Whitey.
