Happy Thanksgiving!!

Well, it's hard to believe that November is almost over! We've had a busy month, and still aren't all unpacked....,.making progress though! Have enough shelves and cabinets now to put things in, so just need to organize and "git it done!"

Here's a chuckle for you. We call these birds "Florida Chickens" but they really aren't chickens! They are pretty funny when they wander through the neighborhoods!!



Can you believe these tangelos? I put the corn can in there just to show the size.....two large ones gave almost a cup of juice, and when I added three regular size ones, it came over 2 cups! Because of the cold weather we've been having (frost last night!!) the juice is getting sweeter. I have a question for someone to answer......,if the fruit has seeds, is it different from the fruit that doesn't have seeds? Are there male and female fruit on the same tree?? As you can see in the picture, one has seeds and one doesn't, then the other three didn't have seeds either.

Here's a picture and two videeos from Troy's on Thanksgiving Day...we had a WONDERFUL turkey dinner -- Troy cooked it in the oven with Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme. That made wonderful gravy.....and when I carved it, I took care to leave a good amount of meat on the bones....because I planned to take the carcas home to make soup! I did, and it was good too!! Three of his friends joined us for dinner, and the corn casserole was a big hit -- even Troy, who said he probably wouldn't eat any corn, was raving about it. It was a nice afternoon, and Troy made me a shelf to go behind the computer table to hold all the cords, modem, router, etc. That will make everything much more organized! Thanks Troy!!

After dinner at Troy's we went to Disney Wide World of Sports Complex to see the MSU basketball team play Maryland in the Old Spice Classic......they didn't do well. Here's the tip-off....MSU stole the ball but missed the shot, and that was part of the story. Most of the story was that they missed almost every second free-throw. It was almost like being at a home game because there were so many MSU fans there! We did the Go Green - Go White cheer across the arena a number of times.....

Well, here is my last Christmas's pointsettia....it has a ways to go to catch up with our neighbor's plant, and one down the road a bit! The pointsettias are beautiful here and grow like a bush!




Well, that's enough news for this week! Hope you had a great Thanksgiving!!
