Happy Thanksgiving, Everyone! We hope that you all will have a lovely day with family, friends, and food, and, of course, your wonderful kitties.
I guess Rusty is bouncing from the 58 last night (or else the 58 was a bad reading and he is merely continuing the bounce he started yesterday--whatever!) We all had a good night. It is cold here this morning, snow everywhere, but sunshine expected later, so maybe Rusty will be able to get beyond the back door. The squirrels are busy at the bird feeders, so that should provide a powerful incentive. At the moment, however, he is napping on his cushion next to the radiator.
After a week of socializing, we are relishing being able to stay home this Thanksgiving! We are NOT having a turkey (but Rusty will enjoy his favorite FF T&G as a main meal today--not merely as a bedtime snack)! We are, however, having all the "trimmings": local cranberries, local squashes, local broccoli, and a pie made from local apples. Instead of turkey I am making "Schinkenfleckerln"--an Austrian ham & noodle casserole.
Off now to watch some of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade. When I was in high school our high-school band was invited to participate in this parade every year and I loved marching in it. One year it was so cold that the brass players mouthpieces froze to their lips! We woodwind players didn't have that problem, but my fingers were so cold I could hardly move them (because of our "uniform," we had to wear thin white cotton gloves, and since it is impossible to play a clarinet with gloves on, we cut tiny holes into the finger tips of the gloves). What fun. Then, in the afternoon, we had to perform at the high-school football game, getting home just in time for Thanksgiving dinner!
Everyone have a happy. Continued thoughts, prayers, healing vines for all sick kitties and beans. Special thoughts for Jill and Mike. Mike, we are giving thanks that you are on the mend.

It will be quite the adventure, as we need to take Mannie with us. :shock: I am sure that he will not be pleased.... :lol: :lol:
