Turkey Day and the pug family


Magoo , the black lug of pug, with his daughter ,Peek- A- Boo




Molly- the the mother of Peek-A-Boo and then Winnie- the senior pug



It was a relaxing day with lots of food, family and no dishes for me! Both my kids were at dinner which is harder to now with my son being married.
My visiting daughter and I were knitting while watching Grey's Anatomy, our favorite show along with 24...Now she is hooked on knitting and made two scarves in the last 2 days..

Day before Thanksgiving..

Yes!!!!I do not have to cook! I am very good at bringing the wine and dessert. I only like to cook if I am in the cooking mode which is not very often. When my daughter lived home it was fun because she loved it and took over. She would have the menus planned months ahead.Even when she was in 2nd grade I remember she used to play restaurant and make up menus for breakfast and then serve it.
Thanksgiving is a time for thanks.I am so thankful for my husband and my two children, my health, my home and all. But, I am sort of sentimental because they have grown up and it is not like what is used to be having them all here.

Knitting another skully hat because first one looks too big ( height wise). So I will give him two for Christmas. This skull does not look as good though. I messed up a bit on the pattern and tried to fudge it.
Not sure what to start next? Still going on the second sock, Log Cabin Blanket but might start fingerless mitts or a vest kit from Stitches.

I am going away next week to New Orleans while husband fishes so I need to think about what to pack for that. Socks for the plane using those small plastic dpn's?
