SKYE AND FUN

What fun I had with Skye and of course Nico Blue. I must say Otto just doesn't love him all that much. he seems to like Otto though. The only gift I want from any of my kids is to have them with me. To watch the Grandchildren grow. Nothing is more special.than time with them. there are always so many things I want to do when Skye comes up and she always helps me clean out some cupboards. Gosh it was fun and I will have both Alexis and Skye home for Christmas. I miss all the rest but I.will make sure I get River and Autumn up.

THANKSGIVING

What a wonderful Thanksgiving it was too.
Skye came home by noon. We ate at one. Jim went to get his brother Richard at ten am since he no longer leaves Hill City. He just can't see well enough. It's a shame. I am sitting here listening to 98*. Great Christmas CD.
Dinner turned out super wonderful. Made Pumpkin Streusel and Apple Raisin pies. Turkey, sausage stuffing, mashed spuds, sweet potatoes, corn souffle, peas, wonderful graveyard, yummy cranberry pineapple salad and jelled cranberries, I forgot to put the Lefsa out.
Everthing turned out so well this year, does it take until I am 70 to really get it together.
Skye and I had fun with sewing projects. On Friday we went to see the new Muppet movie. Cute!
We did not get into the crazieness of Black Friday.
I am working on a new style scarf. Why I don't know. How ever am I going to get all my hobbies done. I AM NOT.
I am having fun with dog and cat beds. I think I will make one for my sister Sonja in AZ. I can't make one for Dede because she has four cats. I would never get done. Where would she put them?
It sounds like Mac and Laura has a houseful what with making two turkeys.
Ali, Autumn and River went to a buffet with Jeff in Little Falls.

DORK DORK DORK

Sometimes Jim is a dork. I couldn't sleep so I got up, made my stuffing, mashed potatoes and a Streusel-Topped Pumpkin Pie. He is upset with me because I bought a book for my I-Pad. I have been dying to see how how a book would read. I am reading a series of three books based on a diary of a woman in Arizona territory. THESE IS MY WORDS is the name of the first book, the diary of Sarah Agnes Prine. The wine club is reading the series. Anyway as soon as I can figure out how to sign into my Library, I will.
We go to Brainerd for shots in our left eyes. What fun.
So glad I have a start on my Turkey dinner.

THE DEDICATION

The day with Mac, Laura, Hope and the STAR of the day "Hudson" was a wonderful day, Karin and Glenn were there and it was great catching up with them. Alexis, River and Autumn were there and of course Skye. The service was wonderful and what a meal. They really know how to entertain. We had a really nice time.

I was sorry to hear about Ali's car. What now.

We had to get back for a funeral on Mon. made a new Chicken hot dish. Not bad. The cake I tried had seven min. Frosting. Too die for, Sue bought me some at Holters and I can make it at home in a few min.

I also had a Lion's metering Mon night.

My goodness I went to bed by 9pm.

I hope I have a quite day today. Tomorrow we get shots in our eyes. The date seeks up on us too fast.

I would like to give Dr. Reynolds a shot in his left eye just once. Sometimes he just doesn't deaden it enough.

DEDE'S package

I wish everyone could see the cute booties that were sent for Otto. W put one on him and he didn't react too well. We will see when we go South. He needs them when we go for walks. Do I ever have fun opening surprise packages from Dede. Will be sending a Christmas package soon. surprise surprise.

DEDICATION

Well here we are on the road again. Got an email from River and look forward to seeing him. We will see everyone at Mac's for Hudson's dedication.
Talked to Alexis and she was working on Autumn's hair. BIG JOB! Tar and Sandy will be picking them up at 6:45.
I will call Skye but not for awhile. We started seeing snow in Aitkin.
I haven't blogged for awhile and as usual there is so much going on.
We had our annual craft sale yesterday and we did super well. We combine it with a bake sale. I made melt in your mouth Sugar cookies and my famous Russian Tea Cakes with wonderful King Arthur light whole wheat flour. I can't get it in my area but will check out Cub today. They all sold out. Bringing some to Mac's house. I made some dog beds thanks to Dot and her donation of fabric and stiff. Sold 2 of them for $20 each and sold many of my baked potato bags. They were fun to make.

FRIDAY WAS LEFSA DAY
