And in the words of the book that the kids love... "And that is how Wacky Wednesday began." JWS decided amid peer pressure  to cook a turkey for Fourth of July instead of grilling. So... I made the stuffing. and homemade noodles (amid a five hour power outage yesterday). And if that wasn't wacky enough... this went by my kitchen window this morning. Tom of Tom and Jerry. Apparently our household is closer to Halloween and Thanksgiving than Independance Day. Tyler has figured out that if he keeps his body covered, he doesn't get hurt as bad when he falls. Apparently, his Halloween costume fit the bill perfect, even in the 100 degree weather. Camera shy Jerry also made an appearance, but you know how those mice are. I could not get the picture!  Hope everyone is having a great holiday! Mine will be better when Shelby and Kendall show up with the PUMPKIN PIES!!!!!

An order for a customer, Calling it Number 10 in my 30 items in 30 days. Wouldn't want to roast the turkey in this! And Number 11. I am not going to show the whole thing until after Christmas. It is an order also and a Christmas Gift. Done! Last night was the annual noodle making event!  They are still drying for tonight's festivities. We have our holiday meal tonight. Allows the kids the holiday to attend all the other events. And us? A nice, quiet day with leftovers! Hope that all of you have a Blessed Thanksgiving!

Me: Fine, but I am not sure I like this later time. JWS: Why not? Me: TOO MANY PEOPLE! JWS: Really? ME:  I took the camera this morning, want to see my pictures? I download, I show him in a slide show. He comments how pretty they are. He looks at me and says. "Put those on your blog and say that there were too many people on your walk!" I re-examined the pictures. I guess he's right. There is this little section of population that we have to pass. And one or two more houses here. The railroad tracks. And then pretty much nature the rest of the way. This is beautiful every morning, but the mist ma...
