a box of Kleenex, an afghan, and hot tea

As you go about all of your pre-thankgiving (and/or plain old regular) chores today,

things like having a discussion with the head turkey maker about whether or not you should fill the cavity of a smoked turkey with an onion, orange, and apple, like you do when you are cooking it the usual way, but now you are just warming it? He says "why not?", I say "no, I don't think so", but couch it with the fact that I am NOT in charge of the turkey.

Perhaps your chore is mounding leaves around your rose bushes for protection, soil amendment, or someone said it was a good idea,

or you just be getting out a last few silly bits of holiday decor, but whatever you are doing, I hope you will also make some time to do something you really WANT to do...

Like sitting in front of an old television set in an upstairs bedroom (because it's the only place to watch a DVD) and  watching your favorite movie of all time, which a nice woman from your knitting class (thanks Pat!) happens to own and lent to you. There may be a box of Kleenex, an afghan, and hot tea involved too.

Sounds good Carol. I spent a few hours this afternoon in my favorite chair with a throw, hot tea and a book, there was a nap in there too.

Janet and Chris: I had forgotten little pieces of it and enjoyed it immensely! I loved seeing the views after spending time in Mendocino. I kept saying to myself "oh I know just were they are at".... as if....
