chocolate and turkey

Gosh I don't know how people
write every single day,
this has been hard
for me.
 
So I didn't say what I was thankful for yesterday.
One of these days I've just got to
say it and this might as well be the day.
I'm thankful for
CHOCOLATE!
 
After my surgery a couple years ago they said I was
never to eat chocolate. NEVER!
I'm not OK with that.
Yes, I still eat chocolate.
 
In fact right now I'm eating a piece of Dove dark chocolate and mint.
(SO good)
 
 
 
Today I'm thankful my Manly Man came home from turkey
hunting without a turkey. I'm through with game
in my kitchen, through with canning
I WANT my kitchen back.
And yes it is my kitchen because ultimately I'm in charge
of keeping it clean and sanitary....that makes
it mine.
OK ....I feel better!

    I'm with you Linda! If we keep the kitchen clean and do all the work in there, it's ours! (smile) Besides, it's where I keep my chocolate. (bigger smile)

    I'm the opposite. I'd love the Turkey, but being a non sugar eater, I'd leave you with the chocolate!

    You rebel with your chocolate. ;)
    I think having a deer processed in your kitchen is plenty for one season....but a turkey doesn't sound half that bad. One roasting and you're done.

    So fun to hear from you, Linda! No chocolate?!? That would be awful! When my mom was in a care center she fell and broke her hip. When I got to the hospital and saw her in one of the little rooms she had blood crusted all around her mouth. I was horrified! So I proceeded to clean it off because I knew she wouldn't want anyone to see her that way. Well, it turned out to be Hershey's chocolate! She had really gone to town on that chocolate bar and then probably fell without wiping her face. It was too hilarious!!! (not the fact that she broke her hip, of course).

    Well, we are taking care of the turkey, and hopefully it isn't too cold and windy, because we are doing all of the fun messy stuff OUTSIDE!

new babies at the starfish house

This morning, Amanda de Lange and a handful of volunteers, went to what we call the “Big O” in Xi’An China (otherwise known as the main orphanage) to see if there were any babies she could take back to her foster home. You see, Amanda doesn’t go looking for the cutest, healthiest babies they have. She goes with eyes and heart open to find the sickest, neediest babies in the orphanage. The babies who are not likely to receive the kind of necessary attention they need just to survive their first few months. Out of all of China’s unwanted ones, she seeks out those who need her the most. That’s why I love this picture so much. This morning, these babies were just seven of many at the orphanage, but not anymore. From here on out these babies will receive round the clock love and attention, nutrition, medical care and almost rock-star like status among Amanda’s fans and supporters all around the world. Once they have been nursed back to health, Amanda does what the orphanage often does...

This is the view from our front porch on a cold, snowy day. Lucky us we moved back in time for the coldest, snowiest winter in decades! It is beautiful but, after a month of it, it's starting to get alittle old. We are blessed to have the nicest neighbor ever. He has regularly plowed our drive after each snowfall, I don't know  what we would have done without him, and thank-you never seems like enough. Any ideas? This week the schools were all closed, it'll be late release this year. Of course we've found plenty to do inside. This has been Jim's first full week home in months and he's enjoying it to the fullest. The garage is looking great and things are being organized. I feel no compulsion to ever finish unpacking,  my cabinets and closets are full so the rest can stay in the boxes. After fighting for a month to keep the goats water filled and unfrozen, we found out about these heated buckets and rushed out to buy one. What a relie...

Thanks Mike from the bottom of our hearts, your awesome! If you can imagine a downside to it being finished, there is a little one. No more Natalie and Conner everyday.
