Good morning! Recovering from my work stretch. Finally feeling human again, lol.
All this talk of stuffing has me looking forward to ours. It’s a good idea to make and freeze it ahead of time, if you can. We just don’t have the freezer space. (We have to clean them out, for sure.) We use the Bell’s Seasoning stuffing and add butter, sausage, onion, celery, cranberries, apples, and sometimes walnuts. So good.

I like how everyone has their own way of making stuffing, those threads here crack me up. In New England we tend to like the Bell’s, but not everyone does. It’s just a local thing, I guess; what we grew up on. My BIL used to make a seafood stuffing and chowder, but he’s gone now, so we’ll be missing that.
For our family’s feast we’ll be making the stuffing, string beans (with garlic butter and cranberries), the fall vegetable dish that I posted here recently (butternut squash, Brussels sprouts, bacon, green apple and chicken sausage with a yogurt honey mustard glaze - OR we might do the usual root vegetable dish, not sure), and DH is going to make his cannolis, they are so fresh and good! Looking forward to that. I am actually working Thanksgiving this year but I should be able to make it for dinner.
Waiting for DD to get home from work, she is bringing me a Dunkin coffee and orange cranberry muffin. She sent me info from her Apple Watch, she walked two miles in her 12 hr shift overnight. (And to think, some people think night nurses have it easier! Lol!) DS and DH are taking the dogs for their weekend ride. DS picked up some OT today so he is going in early. He’s made his decision about his career path so he’s happy about that, and focused. I took care of a patient this week who had a similar path and it was good to talk to him. I told DS about our conversations over dinner last night. (We made grilled ham steaks with rice pilaf and grilled zucchini.) What an interesting life story this guy had! He reinvented himself several times but did it in a big way! Really nice guy.
DS has a baseball tournament this winter in FL and he wants us to go this year, so we booked that the other day. Looking forward now to a winter getaway. And nice that our overnight in the airport recently will pay for the airfare! (Which I’m convinced we got because we were understanding about the hassle.) So we have the wedding coming up and then the tournament to look forward to later. I heard a story yesterday about a nurse that up and quit after some BS happened at work. More and more I can understand why. But having vacation time to look forward to really helps with that.
Well I hope everyone has a nice Saturday.
DH has some outside work to do and I am going to try to keep going with my clothes. Packing last month was ridiculous trying to find everything, so I really need to get my things organized. Fortunately while I was packing for Arizona I did a lot of my packing for FL, too, at the same time. It’s just hard to predict weather that time of year, so you have to be prepared for everything. (Last year when we were there over Christmas it was in the low 30s.) Kind of funny going from 108 to 30s so quickly but that’s how it is in these US states. Weather here is supposed to be decent this weekend, so a good time to get the outside stuff done.
dear Dazed. May your Thanksgiving meal truly be tasty and peaceful!
dear Pea.
Sounds exactly what my mom would say. 
....ya follow me?
