Eat me, I'm a Turkey.....

So this weekend Mike and I went down to Southern Indiana to have Thanksgiving with my family. We did it a little early since we are going to Muncie this Thursday and staying till Sunday for Mike's 10-year class reunion.

My mother is the most amazing cook (which I am the exact opposite), but she reassures me she wasn't that great of cook when she was my age either. We had turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes and gravy, green beans, apple pie, pecan pie and rolls. so delicious!

I also have a wonderful idea for anyone trying to think of something to bring to pitch-ins, etc. O'Charleys sells their rolls by the dozen, frozen. You just put them in a warm area to rise for a few hours then pop them in the oven for 10 minutes. And they are only $4 bucks and dozen. so easy....

Anyways, it was so nice to have a relaxing time in quiet Salem without the kids (Max and Miller, the dogs, went to Grandma and Grandpa Ryan's). Sometimes it's so relaxing there I want to continue to be totally lazy when I get back. Thank goodness for hot tea keeping me awake this a.m.

Stay warm....

Carry on my wayward son...

Well, since life has slowed down for us, we have decided to keep this blog up and running. This will be the place where you can catch all our latest news, pictures and daily thoughts ( I know you can't wait! ). I don't know how often we will get on here to blog, but we are going to put forth the effort!
Stay tuned......
