Thanksgiving 2018

There are many things to be thankful for this year.

Family

Friends

Good Health

The Blue Wave

I hope you feel the same way.

Happy Thanksgiving.

Hope your feast is as good as the one this critter is having.


Smoke Filled Sunset

According to the Washington Post sunsets here in Maryland, D.C. and Northern Virginia are showing the smoke from the fires in California.

This is last night's sunset.

A Lovely Weekend

We had our youngest granddaughter here this past weekend.

16 months old and learning to walk.


She knows right where the toys and the books are.


She likes to play "Hoot Owl" with us.

Looking forward to having the other two granddaughters visit after Christmas along with daughter and son in law.

Baking

It's that time of year when lots of baking happens.


We have a granddaughter here this weekend so I knew that baking would be out of the question.  I baked these two apple pies on Wednesday and delivered them to friends on Thursday.  Dan was the driver for me because of the snow.


I was going to bake another pie today, Saturday, but realized that I better plan to take cookies to the church Thanksgiving potluck instead. 

Baked these oatmeal almond chocolate chip cookies on Wednesday as well.


Next week I'll be making two pumpkin pies to take to the family Thanksgiving gathering on Thursday.

Then it's on to baking cookies for Christmas!
