Back Home

We had a very nice Thanksgiving Day with family, we left this morning just before 5:30am and arrived home around 2:00pm. Here's the beautiful sunrise as we drove south on I-5, the weather was perfect all the way home.

As for Thanksgiving Day, my Mom and I spent the most of day cooking and preparing dinner, but it was all worth it. My Mom tried out a new recipe, Amaretto Yams, and it was a hit with everybody! Plus she made an awesome cornbread-sausage stuffing. I meant to take a picture of the turkey before my husband started carving it, but I was a little busy and forgot all about that most important photo. But here's everybody digging in.

Yesterday we ventured out to the mall, and fortunately it wasn't too crowded. I think most of the crowds had come and gone. Afterwards we went to a local craft shop and I bought this cute fabric and the latest issue of Home Companion. I have no idea what I will make out of this fabric, but I got a kick out of it!

Early tomorrow morning I'm off to Long Beach to meet my cousin at the arts and crafts fair where we'll be selling our crafts, collectibles and antiques. We are very excited about being there every Sunday. Hopefully we will do well.
