Came the dawn ... Thanksgiving

OK, Thanksgiving morning in Ahia, now, a little before 9. The turkey is in the oven at 325 degrees, about 5 plus hours for that. I did the pies yesterday, getting a ham broth ready for my green beans. I'm getting ready for the family at 3.

Apparently the parade in NY is ready for the cold and the wind, and will proceed as hoped. (someone just entered my computer realm, generally around 9, the keyboard now hesitates and is slow. Thanksgiving best wishes to you guys and gals at NSA, or whoever. Our cars get ransacked about once a week, not by them, locals who need money for the holidays, someone seems concerned about our glove compartment and goes through it often. I am thinking about leaving some mints or something for them. I will admit thought that the gloveboxes are more organized than they used to be ... and you will not believe how slow I am having to type right now. Come on, NSA, take the holiday off)

Back to to the parade, it is windy ... they are explaining about the problem with the winds in NY that could ground the balloons, it is complicated. I just learned that putting something on the stove does not mean it will cook, you have to turn the dial ....

I surrender to my computer partner, you cannot believe what all is happening with this keyboard. That o and a just jumped up to the first line .... and the up back there took seconds to type.

Greetings to all, I will be back on when THEY are off ................................. Oh, one last thought. Years ago, when I was younger, there was a parade in NY, which they televised. Now, it is a TV extravaganza, built around the concept of a parade, and occasionally, they show some of the parade. Tight now they are showing a Broadway parade, like live, no,  ...... and ........... Lady Antebellum (SP?) is going to be appearing, in the studio, of course, throughout the parade, life is good. Nothing is an event any more, everything is a TV show .....
