Thanksgiving went like a blurry shooting star.

Hubby and Uncle out of hospital. Whew! Such a huge relief! I love my husband with all my heart. I didn't want to face a lifetime without him! My best friend and my greatest love. They broke the mold when they made my hubby. He is one out of 24,000 men. I say that fact because my uncle also is cut from similar cloth. And I know many fine men! To have my favorite men folk in a hospital down the hall from each other was a burden only God could help me bare. My Aunt took charge. One would think she was in the Marines. Chores done, house clean , kids fed, homework and where they were suppose to be. And she still did hours at the hospital. I watched in amazement as she juggled and delegated. My shy aunt became super woman while I was thinking I was more modern- silently crumbled. We had the first Thanksgiving at home. The guys in PJs and the ladies in very casual clothes. No dressing up, but shoes please! We all missed ties and Jackets- I think, secretly, we love to dress nicely. It makes much nicer pictures. My Aunt timed out a fantastic dinner. We are normally way for Thanksgiving. The last time either of us had attempted roasting a Turkey was 15 years ago for each of us. My Aunt baked pumpkin pies the day before. Just the right amount of spice and browning. She then cooked the meal with help from the kids and I. She masterly roasted the turkey as if she had been doing it all along. A wonderful meal was had by all. The tables set and candles lit. Even in our casual wear we had a real thank-full Thanksgiving this year!

Halloween came and went so fast and away went the kool aid dummy head. (No, not me)
Oh and it just goes to show you. Intelligence wins when ghost hunting. You will find a Vent on the roof may lead to the backyard, there the next door neighbor may have to smoke on his back porch. Smoke smell solved and cold spot repaired. You didn't think I was really haunted, did you? Just stories to envelop the Halloween mood.

My new model is Fuzzy Muffin the Teddy Bear. Much cuteness over poor scary Lucille La Knitter. She has been packed away with the other props for next year. I am working on many things at once. Will add pictures later. You will find a young Norma Shearer modeling there and some really exciting patterns. Oh and when you get time check out this great site with Vintage patterns.

Many of you knit to volunteer and I applaud that loudly with a cheer! I volunteer helping animals and shouting to the world about being Green.
