Matt and Dan……playing backgammon.
No TV, no music.
This is what I see when I’m sitting in my chair.

Matt’s winning, by the way.

I have no patience for games like this, so I’m glad Dan is the game player in the family!

Had a Thanksgiving Dinner run-thru today.
I got an organic turkey from Whole Foods and brined it according to the directions from Cooks Illustrated magazine.
It went really well! I also used their gravy recipe….with a few adaptations and their pumpkin pie recipe.
I made a loaf of bread, too.
Took me ALL afternoon! And it was really fun.

Here’s what I SHOULD be working on, though.
I’m trying to learn Photoshop Elements 3.0 and then scrapbook the hundreds of pictures and ideas I have in my head.

Only takes time.
wink
wink.

Today, the wind was a constant 35 miles an hour. This photo was taken just a few days ago, when the air was still.
Below, you can see a picture of a METAL FLAG BRACKET that actually BROKE OFF because of the constant wind.

If I could, I would have three or four flags flying all the time on my front porch. But I can’t.
The wind is just too strong.

Oh, and right across the street there is Miss KraftFairy’s beautiful home!!!
