Bathroom Break

Let's take a break from talking about bathrooms!  I have lots of pictures of cute goings on to share. 

Do you remember when I had my dates for a quilt show wrong and ended up at a resale shop instead? Now they are all decorated for the holidays! 

So is the coffee shop just down the road. 

These are from their Facebook page. Here is what I am drinking at home. I am on the bathroom budget. 

While we are in the kitchen, the last paper bag of green tomatoes ripened.  I made them into a sauce and served over some meatballs. 

Last Saturday I drove 20 minutes down some country roads to a cute little Christmas bazaar where I buy my mincemeat from the Methodist Church ladies.  Most of my family does not eat mincemeat pies which means there is more left over pie for me. 

Last night I attended the Fourth Grade Musical with a special dance number by an Orange Sun. 

Tonight my posse and I dressed and went to another performance. Can you guess what it was? 

Wicked! The witch's hat is blocking my green dress. My granddaughter and I were team Elphaba.  My daughter is team Glinda.

Here's some Thanksgiving Memories. 

My parents were married on Thanksgiving morning. My grandfather owned a jewelry store in town and was open on Friday evenings and all day Saturday. Those were his biggest shopping days, especially so close to Christmas.  They were married in the morning and the ceremony was followed by a breakfast reception.  Afterwards all the guests went home and cooked their turkey.  My dad never remembered his wedding date, it was always on Thanksgiving in his mind. 

This one is a funny one.  I may have mentioned a hundred times that we live in a teeny tiny house. During all the years when my children were young, we always hosted Thanksgiving for both sides of the family.  Now in my older years, I am very confused by this. Why my house? And why me cooking when I had a full time job and five children? Regardless, here are two of the tables in my living room. On Wednesday night my husband, children and I would move all our living room furniture into the garage and set up tables. As you might notice, everyone had to enter through the kitchen as the front door is blocked. I wish I had more pictures, but this is back when we only had so many spots on the roll of film.  I still think this is ridiculous and very funny. 

Happy Thanksgiving!
