Cranberry sauce

One of my favorite side dishes is cranberry sauce. I watched a video of a cranberry bog harvest. It was very interesting. Then I watched three more relating videos of the harvest. One woman has had her cranberry bog for four generations. Everyone has their favorite side dish for the Thanksgiving meal. Mine is cranberry sauce and of course my mom's homemade noodles.

It’s not Fall

Here we are the last few weeks of November. While it’s still officially a Fall month. We have had three snowfalls before Thanksgiving. The first one occurred before Halloween. There was hardly any kids trick or treating outside. I am sure their families had a Halloween party. The ones that did venture out in the snow and cold, were wearing jackets over their costumes. There weren’t as many people handing out candy. The one that did hand out candy, were so just so great. They had outdoor type heaters or fire pits to keep themselves warm. Now in one week it will be Thanksgiving. All the great gatherings of people. I am hoping that everyone drives carefully, so we can all reach our destinations safely.

I have to hand it to the people that take the time to sit and listen and talk to one another. I recently had such a night. I went and picked up a friend in my car to go out to supper. We shared stories. Then we went for a drive to another town for dessert. The Dairy Queen there has a Snickerdoodle Blizzard. Absolutely delicious! My friend ordered one of those, I got a dip cone. Everything is going good, really nice chat in the car. Reminiscing about old times and laughing till we had tears in our eyes. Missing the relatives that had passed on. Talks about our pets and shoes and life in general. Places we’ve been, trips we would like to take. Ahhh the memories!
