New cooktop, new ovens, new counter tops! Whee! What kind of counter tops? So jealous of your double oven! I do wish I had gone that way, it would have made such a difference in many of the dinners...

I would cure cancer. I have so many loved one that are fighting or have fought this ugly disease. It is devastating to witness the toll it takes on not only the person living with cancer, but their...

What a great way to celebrate with your sister! I've been fascinated by the idea of the inside view cabins on the Oasis. Looking forward to your live reporting and pics.

Did you want to blink during the laser surgery?

On our first cruise to Alaska we were on the =X= Infinity. Brent Nixon was the naturalist on board. We booked a whale watching excursion in Juneau with Captain Larry, and to our delight not only was...

Great job John! Clean and crisp, I like it!

Lovely photos, thanks for sharing. What a great place to work.

:lblue: I know we shouldn't encourage you, but...

You can't resist smiling, and playing it back once or twice, just for the sheer pleasure of happy!

had time to dress.

oops, forgot I wasn't on FaceBook...

Oh, lobster sounds like a perfect replacement for turkey, since our dinner was cancelled due to the hospitalization of our host.

Hell yeah! That's what I want today!

Mmm, it's sounds like you'll be baking all day Corky!

I saw this on FB. My heart hurts for Adam's family and loved ones. Prayers that they can soon find some joy in the memories of Adam and his joy in life.

happy day!

Well, no, we won't be seeing him for turkey dinner. I am sure he'll want to rest if he can come home. But we'll see them soon, for sure.

Wow, everyones menu sounds good, even the pancakes!

The menu I originally posted is for Saturday when my daughter and new SIL can join us and two other friends.

We got some bad news tonight....

Maw, that sounds so good. Should be lots of leftovers if there are only 5 of you! (as long as the dressing and noodles aren't made tonight! LOL!)

fruit stuffing... Mmm.... sounds good! What kind of fruit? Does it hold up well in the bird? Interesting, I might have to think about putting some kind of fruit in my dressing.

I'm always happy with any meal I don't have to cook!

Susan, that sounds like a good deal! Hopefully, paying for the food includes the dishes. LOL.

Ours will be:

Herb Roasted Turkey
Cornbread dressing
Gravy
Cranberry Sauce with Apples and Brandy
Shaved Brussels Sprouts with Browned Butter
Roasted Carrots with fresh Rosemary and Thyme...

Just watched a reindeer sleeping, he was moving and twitching like Kiefer does in his sleep.

I didn't see a Calgon in the video camera range, so they are safe and sound for their Dec. 24th...

I agree. To spend 5 days to Hawaii and 5 days back and stay there for just a few hours every day for 4 stops or so, it doesn't seem long enough. I need to work on my flying skills on the mainland so...
