Thanksgiving Planning

What a day I had today!  Any thoughts of accomplishing anything were out the window by 10:00 a.m.  I spent my day playing with my grandson, Christian.  He is so much fun!  He learned to hop yesterday, so we spent lots of time hopping and "going crazy".  We spin around, jump up and down, wave our arms over our head, and yell "Go Crazy".  His little feet get moving so fast - and he really can say "Go Crazy".  Too cute!  He was so worn out today that he actually fell asleep in his high chair in the middle of his lunch.  Secret . . . Grammy's tired too!


I have been trying really hard to get inspired to plan my Thanksgiving menu this year.  So far, creativity has eluded me.  It will come . . . I just hope it's soon.


As I cruised the internet looking for some new ideas, I ran across the following list of Thanksgiving hotlines on iVillage:

I learned a tidbit of Thanksgiving trivia too . . . 

          Did you know that Thanksgiving Day is the busiest day for plumbers?

It's because people shove way too many things into their garbage disposals and clog their drains.       *** Be careful out there ***
