Worked last night, the same tonight.
Tomorrow hopefully I'll have the energy to cook and celebrate Thanksgiving with the kin.
That said, Kasey is in Philly with the school band to march in the Thanksgiving Day parade, they get a huge buffet style dinner at the hotel, then a day in NYC before they bus them home.
Jeff is in the burgh with his ladyship, Ty is going to his Dad's and is then going to join us at Aimee's parents for dinner.
I'll see the babies in the evening.
Sounds crazy and busy because it is! Lol

Went to the gym after getting all 7 kids off to school. That, combined with assembling a new tv stand/fireplace yesterday has put me on my a$$ today. Legs and feet are numb and useless. I get that a lot in the colder weather when I overdo it.

Those electric fireplaces look real as hell.

I know. The flames look very real. And that thing throws a nice dry heat like a real fire. It has a low and high setting for the fan. Or you can run it with no heat. And it comes with a remote control so I don't have to get off my lazy butt and walk the 8 feet to turn it on.

Cooking a simple dinner tonite, Cube steaks, Mashed tater's and Asparagus.

Then I am sinking my hands in a tub of Bag Balm, wrapping them in socks and going to bed.

I'll sleep until I want to get up on Thursday. The Kitchen belongs to the women for a change.

Dinner at my house. Table is set for 12.

Probably going for a walk after dinner to work off some of the over-eating that I plan to do! Temps in the mid 30's(F) are forecast for the day so it probably won't be a 5+ mile hike, more likely maybe a mile of watching my breath when I exhale.

Heading to my wife's cousin's house. I don't know how many people will be there. It used to be around 40 but not anymore. It seems that we old 'uns are all dying off and the younger ones are establishing their own traditions with their own families … or something.

It's going to be a day of overindulgence and football. Doesn't sound too bad. I think that I can handle it.

The cold shot (16F) we had last week dropped the leaves on almost every tree all at once. Spent much of Thanksgiving with a leaf vacuum. In some places they lie 8" deep.

Did the front yard and the roof.

Today I get to do the side and backyards.

My deceased FIL saw me raking leaves one time. He said my theory is the good Lord put those leaves there. He can take them away

It's a nice theory but,,,; It doesn't prevent bald spots on the lawn next summer.

The leaves were so deep in my yard, one simply could not come in the house without bringing a few along. That bothers the wife. Not a good thing.

So,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,; I'm gonna go with my theory....; If momma ain't happy, nobody is happy.

Jeff just tried to pull a fast one on me.
He told me Miss Germany and he are at the cabin and that she's sick.
Naturally I'm full of ohhh no.. the poor thing.
When I asked him if it was respiratory or intestinal he says "pregnancy".
He allowed me to stew for about half an hour full of excitement then said, Mother I am kidding.:hammer:
She's got the bug- not of the baby kind.

Forgot to mention the tree went up last night too.
Other lights I used to jazz up my nest.

Cozy!

Our tree won't go up till after dec 1st. Outside lights? I had a bah humbug moment last year when I finally installed a fancy spot light that lit up the whole front of the house and saved me a lot of time and struggle. It didn't last 36 hours before someone stole it. So now I refuse to put up any decorations both at Halloween and Christmas. I can't do ladders anymore. And Christmas has become so commercialized now. It's downright sickening. The true meaning of Christmas is lost. We'll do a tree but only for the kids. I'd rather just crawl into a corner and not come out till January.

Good rainy Saturday morning to you all.
45 degrees!
I'm doing doubles again at work, back to back.

I feel the same as you Brian about the commercialism of Christmas.

47 (F) degrees outside so we decided to go for a motorcycle ride. Found a new coffee spot, rode along the Kankakee river on a nice curvy road that followed the shoreline west of Momence, IL, and stopped for a cup of coffee.

53 miles. It was too cold to go that far but didn't really get cold until the last half dozen miles as we were heading home. I was wearing insulated Rev'it motorcycle pants and was reasonably warm but the lovely Mrs_Bob had on a pair of blue jeans over tights and her legs were pretty darn cold by the time we got home.

Oh, and stopped for a photo op in front of a tavern in a small town. There was one of those mobility scooters parked outside loaded down with some milk and children's cereal. Seemed like a good place for a photo.

We attended a ucb gala tonight. Ucb is the main Christian radio station across Canada. They brought in "The Color" from Manitoba to play an acoustic set. What we didn't know was that they had arranged seating for everyone attending and the band members were all assigned to sit at various tables to eat. The lead guitarist sat at our table. We had a great time.

my Parents have that, 'cept wider, tho similar enough--

my joel swung by to watch our dear Stillers--

sigh on that game--

if we won each game, we would rock, yet there would be an expectation & less of a state of hysteria when we WIN!!!!!!!

Ice on everything this morning. Some snow.

Had to poor water on the car doors to get them open.

Cleared the windshields and warmed the engines on both caravans. Cathy has a warm car for her morning chores.

Five no shows this morning at the plant. Two of them machine operators. It's gonna be a long day.
