[Blindtlk] happy Thanksgiving everyone!

[Constance Canode]

Hi everyone,

Well, I cooked up a huge feast for Rick and myself and we will be 
eating left-overs for a while.  We had the usual turkey, stuffing, 
mashed and sweet potatoes, gravy, corn because Rick doesn't like 
vegies, a traditional salad that I always make, and I also made 
cranberry orange relish.  We have pie for later this evening because 
neither of us had room for it right after dinner.  I was trying to 
decide whether I should explode or implode, but it is only once a 
year and it was really delicious.  I love cooking and baking and soon 
my dearest and closest friends will be receiving my packages of 
homemade baked goods as part of their Christmas gifts.  I love this 
time of the year and so much enjoy doing things for some of the 
special people who have made a difference in my life.  We have so 
much to be thankful for, I am still working, we have a nice home and 
plenty of good food, and best of all, good friends.  Take care 
everyone.  Hope you all had a beautiful day.
