I'm back

I know I have been slacking on my blog. I can explain. First I was busy. Then I got a stinkin cold that has kicked my butt and then we went away for Thanksgiving.

As I have documented, I slaughtered my (or is it Steph's) monster squash. 1st I had to get the dang thing washed. Since it was twice the size as my sink, this was a challenge.

Then it was time to cut it open. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. The toughest part was hefting the monster around.

There were lots of seeds in it.

And lots of little pieces.

I bottled most of it. That will be easier for my kids to store.

I have been battling a cold and it almost kept us home for Thanksgiving. But the day before, my fever broke and I started to feel better. Mike and I went to Twin Falls and had Thanksgiving with Steph and Dan and Dan's parents. Steph did most of the cooking and did a very good job. No one went home hungry. Mike and I spent the night in Twin. Mike was able to go to the temple Fri morning while I went shopping????? No. I stayed in bed and it felt soooo goood.

That's about it for our homefront. I hope everyone else had as nice a Thanksgiving as we did.

And why is it that everybody is moving things to the 1st of the month so we can get done with them before things get crazy with Christmas. So I have a meeting, Tues night, Wed night, Thur night and Fri night. At 1st I thought I had 2 mtgs on Tues but one was Tues and the other Wed. Then I could have chosen one, but now I guess I get to go to both of them.
