Made it!
And with this post, NaBloPoMo draws to a close. I managed to stick with it, but I think the quality of the posts shows that I wasn’t really that enthusiastic most days. Oh well.
My dad had the day off so he drove up to visit for a few hours. It was nice to see him, and we finally went to The Machine Shed in Lake Elmo. That was a drive from our apartment, but it was worth it because we walked in to see a big round table of old pals chattering away, just like my uncles and their fishing buddies do at the Rockford, IL location they frequent.
Here’s hoping December has just the right amount of intrigue.
I Asked My Husband What I Should Blog About…
I Asked My Husband What I Should Blog About…
Green beans.
What is there to say about green beans?
They are green, and they grow on bushes or poles. They are the main ingredient in a delicious holiday casserole, though as a child I did not appreciate it one bit. That was the dish I avoided, and I usually got away with it as long as there was another vegetable option on my plate. (I favored creamed corn, and still do.) The kind of green beans I most enjoy are the garlicky sauteed variety that come from Chinese restaurants.
These look pretty good though…
We Made It!
We survived! We managed to get through Thanksgiving and not to get sucked too far into the Mac vs. PC debate, or get into trouble on the variety of political issues the family members brought up over dinner. We don’t tend to come down on the same side of very many issues…
The highlight of the evening was definitely when my father-in-law said the dinner prayer, and called God the Master of the Universe. It was all we could do to hold off laughing til the end of the prayer. By the power of Gray Skull! *gigglesnort*
Best Thanksgiving Dessert Ever*
Hopefully I don’t get in trouble for posting this since it’s my husband’s family tradition and not mine… but it’s the world’s best Thanksgiving Dessert!*
*According to my husband, and his sister, and his aunt, and pretty much every other person who’s ever eaten it.
Jonah
My first nephew was born yesterday! Jonah Michael came in at a hefty 8lbs 12oz. and is definitely going to take after his Uncle Jon. He’s got the light blue eyes and dimples! He’s such a sweetie! I just wish I’d be able to get good photos of him at around 1 month old like I did for his big sister, but they’re living way off in Ohio. *sigh*
Maybe our tax refund will fund another trip out there next summer!
