Despite my recent grumblings, I am so thankful for so many people in my life! Hope you can each be with some of your favorite and loving friends and family not only today but throughout the Season!

Happy Thanksgiving to all. I'm going to a friends house and enjoy good company and good food. We have wild weather here, that is expected to continue for a few days, so I'll get drenched going from car to house to car, but that's okay. Now off to watch some football.

"Waste not, want not!"

My other rule is "Eat dessert first! Life is uncertain!" SWMBO would not allow that today, however, made me wait until everyone had been through the other line! I think we had 7 different pies! I am always thankful for having so many great cooks in my family!! However, I'll now have to double up on my walking routine! Goal is -5 pounds by Christmas! That'll be our next gormandizing sessionbig delicious meal!

Quiet day with way more food than needed for the two of us...("some recipes just can't be made smaller")..  
Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving day...let the sales begin...let the ads end

I ate lots of delicious food. My friend tried new recipes and everything was terrific. We sat and watched the lightening and rain, listened to the thunder and talked and laughed. The drive home was nerve wracking. I don't normally drive at night in the winter as there aren't many street lights, and in the rain the visibility is really bad. My route home took me past a tree that was leaning and it fell 15-30 minutes after I went by the spot.   Then just before my turn to come up my hill, I hit a flooded spot in the road. Too dark to see it, I went into the water around 25mph. Car lost traction, and I eased up on the gas and let my lovely tires find the road. Then I crept through the rest of the area, praying I didn't wind up with water in my car engine. I was glad to have made it up my hill and into my garage.

If I'd known about any of this, I'd have gone the long way round.

Once home, I sat down and watched the Cowboys vs Redskins game as I'd recorded it. Good game.

Glad you made it home safely!

"Motherly" advice:

Try RainX (be sure to follow the directions).
Keep wiper blades replaced and pliable.
Keep headlight covers clean and clear.
Think about better/brighter bulbs
Get an eye exam at least once a year.
Slow down.

BTW, there are dozens of formulae for computing the probable speed your tires will hydroplane,

but you won't be able to use any of them during the event!

Good to hear you all had happy turkey days. We had a quiet day with Dad, my sister and niece. My sister did all the cooking at her place and brought the food to Dad's house. Sometimes it pays to have a non-working stove.

Hey kimmer, can you send some of that wet stuff our way? We are about 12 inches below normal in rainfall and things are getting dicey around here with drought warnings. I've cut back on laundry to save the well water as well as taking my longer showers at the Y. Dad takes short ones anyway cause he's always cold no matter how high I put the thermostat. But then, at 98 he's allowed to be picky.
