Did I ever tell you that when I was an HR manager for a grocery store I hired a woman to be a cashier who claimed to be an American Indian Psychic? She told me one day in the break room that it would be difficult for me to have children, that I would only end up with one child- a little girl, and that I would marry a man with Dennis in his name. Well scroll down folks cause question #5 on that last meme shows CSP’s middle name is Dennis. We all know I’m uterus free. And we’re asking for a girl. I might need to Google Psychic Indian Cashiers and send a thank you note.

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! I sure did. I hosted my very first Thanksgiving and it went really well! We had tons of food and fun. We deep fried the turkey and it came out great- so juicy!
Candice & Devin from next door came over with their kids. They are from Iowa, so a deep fried turkey was a first for them. They loved it though. We all had a lot of fun. Papa said grace and it was so sweet we were all crying by the end of it! I made mac & cheese, green bean casserole, and 2 pumpkin pies. They came out really well! We also provided the turkey and the oil.
I found pretty place mats at Target (I didn’t have 8 matching before) and I thought the table looked pretty.
Papa prepped the turkey:
CSP had to work third shift and into the morning Thanksgiving morning, but after a nap he came down from the closet and joined us.
We had some extra excitement after dinner as a firetruck and ambulance pulled up. 
We never found out what happened. But the truck couldn’t get through because the dorks in my neighborhood park on both sides of the streets. Drives me nuts. So the firetruck just laid on his horn until people started to move. Candice grabbed my camera and went running to take pics of the parking offenders so we can report them to the HOA. We have driveways and overflow parking areas but people just get lazy. I tell you what though, if someone I loved died because the ambulance couldn’t get past your car, oooh, you’d have a world of hurt coming to ya!
Then we went in for pie and more visiting.
I went to bed exhausted, stuffed, and happy. The way Thanksgiving should be! Surrounded by the people you love and good food!Pictures here!

Today we got up, packed up, said our goodbyes, and hit the road.
I was home just a few minutes when CSP showed up with his parents in tow. They came in and his mom cooked the most complicated meatloaf I’ve ever seen. She used every available dish, utensil, and gadget in my kitchen. I was gobsmacked. But it was good and I didn’t have to cook it so I don’t complain!
Pictures and my Thanksgiving story to come!

Today we (Shannon H, Susan, Miss O, Deb, C, and I) walked around Biltmore Village and the Grove Arcade, had lunch, then went back to the house for naps. After naps we piled back into the cars and went to the Biltmore for the Candlelight Christmas tour. It was just beautiful.
I don’t have any pictures from inside the house though because they don’t allow you to take photos, videos, or even sketch! We weren’t able to get through the whole tour though because one of the girls with us, C, is 7 mos pregnant and just couldn’t make it anymore. It’s a long tour with lots of stairs. After Biltmore we picked up a ton of pizza and went back to the house to play games and eat. It was a lot of fun visiting with my Tiara Girls. Pictures are on flickr. -
I’m in a fun cabin in the mountains with some of the most fabulouso women in the world. Miss O is here and charming us all. We’re all about to crash out so we can get up and go to Biltmore tomorrow. Fun! We have boas and tiaras and there will be some interpretive dance after some mojitos tomorrow. heh.

Last week I went to visit my Grandmommy at her nursing home. My Mom & Morgan met me up there. The nursing home was putting on a Thanksgiving dinner for the residents and their friends and families. They had tables all set up and decorated with little things the local scout troop made.
We were eating our dinner when Numbers came walking by. We all said hello and she started talking to me. She got really passionate about something and started poking her finger at me, then the table, then she poked my ham. She took her finger and repeatedly jabbed my ham slice! On my plate! I thought my Mom and Morgan were going to pass out from laughing. Thank goodness it wasn’t something squishy like my mac & cheese! I was able to cut off the poked part and finish up.
We were able to meet one of the 3rd shift caregivers at dinner. It’s so nice to see how much they really do care about the residents.
After dinner we went back to Gmommy’s room and Gmommy decided to change shirts. This is a constant thing. 
Well, Papa always says that anytime family gets together in numbers it is just a short time before someone sees someone naked. Sure enough, we’re all sitting in her room and Gmommy flashed us her boobs! She’s been a bra flasher for a while but now she’s upped the anty! My eyes melted out of my head while Morgan turned the deepest shade of red I’ve seen in nature. Luckily we were able to get some clothes back on her before we left! The rest of my pics from that night are here. -
1. I sent out a vote via email on Photo Bloggy Days- to keep it seasonal or change it to once a month and the votes are in. We’re keeping it seasonal. So the next go round will be our winter edition and we’ll do that in January or February.2. For some reason I hit enter while typing my posts out but they’re showing up on my computer all jumbled together with no spaces. Annoying.3. The next Bloggy Parade of Homes will be our Christmas edition. We’ll be doing that the 2nd or 3rd week of December. I can’t wait to see all of your homes all blinged out for Christmas!
