23 November 2006
Days of cleaning, shopping and cooking. I did the first really thorough cleaning of 1156 on Monday and then went to Krogers at 10 PM in order to evade the crowds. Tuesday and Wednesday was filled with cooking in my beautiful new kitchen where everything has a convenient place and I have plenty of counter space.
Grandpa came on Wednesday and we had Swensons for lunch and a ham for dinner. Today I have a turkey in the oven and will have the usual trimmings. I'm trying a new recipe for the sweet potatoes that has apples in it. We'll see how it turns out.
We're enjoying beautiful sunny days and peace in our hearts.

A Shining Home Set on a Hill: Ready for Thanksgiving

Yes, it's me finally blogging. It's somehow wrong to enjoy everyone's posts when I'm not putting in my two cents worth.
Bruce and I have been enjoying rainy Portland. I've walked everywhere and learned to nagivate the free transportation available in the "free zone." I come back to the hotel every day with sore legs (from walking so much) and frizzy hair (from the rainy weather). I found a nice quilt shop but it wasn't open even though the door listed it as supposed to be open. So, the next day I traversed the miles again to find that it was open on the next day. I looked around but in my irritation about having to come twice I decided to punish the shop and NOT buy anything.
We're heading out today to go home but with the time difference we are up about 6 hours earlier than we need to so decided to get Starbucks. Well, the Starbucks isn't open on Saturday so we're taking advantage of the internet offered to the conference attendees and checking up on mail and blogs.
I am ready for some extended time at home getting more stuff put away and enjoying cooking in my new kitchen.
