Happy Thanksgiving!

We're cooking up a storm! Pies have been cooking all day. Two pumpkins and a mince meat (whatever that is). The rutabagas are done. I'll be chopping up a bunch of mushrooms in a minute and sauteing them ahead of time for tomorrow's gravy and green bean casserole. Our refrigerator has never been so full! It's confused. Oh yes, there are lists. All the grandparents, half the aunts and uncles, and College Girl's beau will be here for dinner. I love a full table!

I hope you're all finding plenty to be thankful for this weekend. 

One of the things I'm thankful for is you. Thanks!

Scenes from Today's Table

So we got a new computer, hooray! So far we've been available to retrieve absolutely nothing from the old one, boo! So we're daily discovering what we no longer have, which isn't as fun as it sounds. We're slowly getting there though with a lot of help from College Girl, yay! 

Meanwhile, we're in full swing here on the ole Cart. Feels like Santa's workshop. With pumpkins.

Of course we'll be taking a couple of days off to enjoy Thanksgiving with the family. 

We have lots to be grateful for.

Bummer

We're having some technical difficulties here on the ol' Cart. Apparently, our computer dropped dead -- completely and undeniably dead --  a couple of days ago. Dead dead. Like they can't retrieve anything off of it dead. No art, no pictures, no itunes, no Dylan's videos, no the-thing-that-makes-me-be-able-to-get pictures-off-my-camera, no pdf quilt patterns that I just bought, no anything.

Døde, мертвый, νεκρός, muerto, dead.

sigh.
