A few of the Thanksgiving preparations taking place around here include the following.
Final menu decisions being made.
Garlands hung.
Shakers washed and filled with fresh salt and pepper.
Windows washed.
Holiday doo-dads dug out of the basement.
I found a penny in the parking lot of the grocery store and picked it up the other day. Angie always picked up the stray coin. "Find a penny, pick it up, all the day you'll have good luck". I am carrying it around in my pocket with the hopes that we will have a new water heater installed before Thanksgiving. Not generally one to believe in superstitious practices, I see no reason not to cover all my bases. In the meantime, Chris and I have perfected the art of heating water on the stove for bathing, hair washing, and doing the dishes. Mustering through adversity builds character.
