Been baking all day for wedding shower I am co-hosting tomorrow. I am soooooooooooooo tired! One good thing, I am about to make a quick run to a little church down the street from my house that has an annual Thanksgiving dinner that is to die for! Best cornbread dressing ever! I will get our supper to go and come back to start icing! I'll try to post a pic of my cake when I am done.

They weren't originally designated junk drawers..Everything just ends up in drawers that become "junk " drawers..

I have them all organized now...feels so much better...

Going to bed early to read some of Smoke Jumper by Nicholas Evans .
He also wrote The Horse Whisperer Excellent writer !!

Nancy, is he from Montana? Just wondering. I may google him to see.

Rhonda, black beans in the salad sounds good. There's a healthy nutrition store in Cleburne out where Penney's used to be in Nolan River Mall. I will go there next week to look for organic goodies. Who knows? We may start eating healthier.


Sloan, can I have some cake? I'm so ready to see it.

Cake! I want cake!

Junk house---I like that.

I re-organized a big closet recently and that felt good. Tomorrow, I'm cleaning the refrigerator(s).

morning chicks.

i got the trim painted yesterday. Have a dresser to paint and hang curtains. Still sore,but not as bad.

I have one junk drawer here in Fl and 4 in KY.

Rhonda, I know that felt good to get your closet organized. Come clean my fridge when you are done. It needs it.

Sloan, be sure to post a pic of your cake.

Sandra, are you making that dip? It sure sounds good.

Nancy, did you get any more offers on your house? Is it officially off the market now?

Need to go shopping for my Thanksgiving dinner later.

Hi Maryann, and enjoy your trip.

Pam, what dip?

We're having to work at keep up our spirits today. Guess that's maybe due to a lot of cloud cover outside. Anyway, we'll just keep on keepin' on. I found out last week that my brother is undergoing tests to see if his vascular system is good enough to undergo a procedure to save his right leg. I feel so sorry for him. Sorry about being so "down" today. I am going to start focusing on all the good things around. Life is good.

Oh boy, Sandra...you've got a lot on your mind now. The cloud cover doesn't have to be dreary. My late husband said the grey of the sky shows off the green of the trees and grass. See if you can see that. I'm so sorry that your husband and brother are both hurting. Life is good, but it has its serious challenges.

In the meantime, I am thinking of the Israeli/Hamas conflict. My late husband, mentioned above, was Israeli and his family is all over Israel, from the north to the south.

I'm making stew and cornbread for dinner.

Rhonda, thank you. I will focus on the good outside. I just finished mowing (riding mower) the front. There is some sunshine popping through now. That's also good for the spirits. I know you're worried about your family in Israel. Are you in touch with them? Can you keep up with them during this?

I am baking brownies. To heck with diets today. There's always tomorrow to get back on track. I've already licked the spoon. They are going to be good! Guess brownies will be a good substitute since I can't have any of Sloan's cake.

Sandra, yes I'm in touch with them on FB. We talk every now and then, and I visit every 5 years. This year is the year that I should go, in the summer. We shall see what happens.

The stew, salad and cornbread were tasty.

I uploaded a couple of pics. The apron shaped cake has tiny apples on it, and the apron pocket says "He's whisking her away". That cake is red velvet. The cupcake is key lime and has a glaze of lime juice and icing sugar along with the icing. They both got rave reviews!

sloan, they look delicious. Great job. You made both of them? Very talented.

Sandra, I hope your brother gets good news. Brownies sound good.

Rhonda, I hope your family is safe. I can't remember the last time I made stew. I should give it a try.
