I woke up at 4:00 a.m. so I got up and put the turkey in the oven. I was glad it had the little red pop-up button that pops out when it is done all the way through.
Sis prepared the mashed potatoes, yams with marshmallows melted into them in the oven, cornbread dressing, and green beans. I fixed a green salad, in addition to the cranberry salad that I made last night. Sis had made pumpkin and rhubarb custard pies yesterday.
We used my red glass dishes (they were my mother-in-law’s, and I think they may be Depression glass), and lit red candles when we were ready to eat.
I picked up our friend at 10:00 this morning and we visited as we finished preparing the dinner, then ate dinner at noon. I only ate a little of each thing, but considering how many things there were, I still ended up feeling like I was the stuffed turkey.
Around 1:30, I took our friend home and we all three agreed that the next thing to do was take a nap. An hour’s nap made me feel much better, but not hungry.
We talked to several different friends and family members on the phone today. Since we couldn’t be together for Thanksgiving, that was the next best thing.
I finished knitting a Christmas tree ornament this afternoon. The hardest part of anything I knit is increasing and decreasing stitches.
I don't have to work tomorrow, but I do have my regular beauty shop appointment in the afternoon.
It is very windy outside and is predicted to be down to 37 by tomorrow morning and then down to 27 degrees the next night. What a change from the 85 degree temperatures yesterday and 80 today.
