Happy Easter, Blessed Passover, Blessed Oestara (late)

I got my hubby an Easter basket with a basketball in it. Two fold...we can go together and shoot hoops. I received an adorable card (as usual) and a Bamboo plant trained into a heart shape.

My parents hit the road early this am so we celebrated Easter yesterday. Haet being so far away from everyone......

Wishing everyone a WONDERFUL and safe Thanksgiving.

We are going solo. We have a small turkey breast, salad, mashed potatoes and cornbread stuffing. I will make a pumpkin pie and MAYBE some apple thingies for hubby.

Speaking of, I am so excited, as he is going with me to our book club tonight. He will get to meet all of my new friends.

If it is rerun again, watch the history of the first Tahnksgiving onthe History channel. very interesting.
