This year we have to stay close to home instead of getting together with the whole family for a big meal. There’s a bit of a tiff underway and I want to part of it. So we are staying home and I’m cooking a small turkey for just us. I think I’ll do sweet potatoes and a couple of side dishes that are my long time favorites, like corn pudding and turnip greens with relish.
Hope you have a nice Thanksgiving – no matter where you are when you sit down to eat. And be sure to kiss and thank the cook!

This year I was so excited to plant a larger garden. I bought twice as many tomato plants and twice as many pepper plants as last year. And started some pumpkins from seed.
I want to plant some flowers, too and bought some seed packets and phlox plants to try growing a few flowers around the mail box.

DH came home with a big box of ripe bananas that were free for the taking. I don’t know how two people are supposed to eat all these bananas. I guess I will freeze them and break out the blender so we can start making smoothies and milkshakes.

This has been a really nice Mother’s Day. I had several glorious hours to myself this afternoon and I took full advantage of them.
Dinner was a strange combination of things that I like and felt like cooking. And I’ll watch TV to see the end of the Amazing Race series and the season finale of The Unit.
It’s been great so far. Happy Mother’s Day to all my friends who are mothers!
