The past few days have been a whirlwind! Thank you for stepping through my Thanksgivingaganza with me. Hope that all of the excitement has left you enough energy to shop-til-you-drop today. I was not among those who got up in time to hit the stores at 5AM, but I would like to hear about your bargains if you scored any.

“The Bird” is now “The Soup”, which was on the stove bright and early this morning and now sits cooling with a good healthy sheen of grease on top.

This morning we spotted some hunters out back beyond the hemlocks. They were following the deer trail and were shockingly close to our house. Since we have no posted signs, had a deer walked across our lawn right then, they would have been within their rights in this state to shoot at it. I don’t like that. I am buying posted signs.
