Some good news to start this letter. Patty Welsh Phillips is engaged. I haven't met him but he is in church with her every Sun. U& he seems like a nice fellow. I'm happy for Patty.
This is Frank's last day at the former Dunham home. They sign papers tomorrow. It went for $110,000. They had to come down according to Gustafson's up the st. So there will be little children on our block again.
I'm watching Pittsburgh lose to Baltimore & it is not a happy situation.
Barb & Dale went across the st. yesterday aft. to say goodby to Frank. He said to Barb "Don't wash all the paint off the car" -- she was washing the van. Bad weather is expected the middle of the week, so Dale has the Monte Carlo ready to put away for the winter & has taken the Blazer out. He thinks we should get new tires for the van for winter driving -- he will look into it.
Nancy Bloom Davis is now a grandmother. The oldest, a daughter Amy had a baby girl. Nancy went for a week to be with her in N. Carolina. First grandchild for both sides of the couple. So Irene Bloom is a great grandma.
Had a card from Millie. She & Linda will go to Allan's for Thanksgiving & hope to see Gen sometime during the weekend.
Yesterday Larry called & said Kim will make 2 pies for Thanksgiving. I used to order pecans from Texas & they always send info on prices, etc. They had a recipe for Caramel Pecan Pie that sounds delicious. You use brown sugar & milk, 1/2 c. B. sugar til it bubbles. Then make a cream filling using 1/2 c. B sugar, milk, cornstarch, etc. After it thickens you add egg yolks, & the melted B. sugar. Meringue on top. Sound luscious but sweet. Maybe I'll try it. You also add coarsely chopped pecans. It said after the dessert your guests will be so sated & tired they'll heard for the nearest bed & leave you in peace!
Barb has all but 1 of her gifts wrapped. I started wrapping yesterday. We'll get the pkg. out in time for JoAnna's birthday. By UPS.
My faith is restored -- Pitts. just tied the score 13-13. 5 min. left to play. Other 2 QB injured & Maddox hasn't played that much.
Thanksgiving Day
We'll eat at 5 pm & the turkey smells so good. All is ready or just about. Green bean casserole & mashed sweet pots. ready to go into the oven -- about 4:15. I made broth using turkey
We've had snow -- enough for Dale to shovel. When I got up this A.M., the Weather Channel said 30 for Jamestown. Now it's in the low 20's. The snow has stopped but more is predicted.
Paul you'll have to get your scarf yourself. We looked in Warren & Jtown & no light colors. All dark colors & not too many of them.
I miss not making a pumpkin pie but I'll make one for the weekend.
Poor Detroit they can't catch a pass.
The Mets got Carlos Delgado & lost an up & coming 1st baseman in the trade. Wonder if they'll get the Boston outfielder -- the one with the big ego.
Finally there was an obit for Max & it was a very nice one. She was well liked & loved & will be missed. She didn't know how to pick her men.
Fri A.M.
I got a haircut this A.M. & it's nice not to have it not hanging on my neck.
It was cold this A.M. -- in the teens & I needed to wear boots, mittens, heavy jacket.
Our thanksgiving dinner was very nice. The food was good & we enjoyed each other's company. Torey has to have an operation. I think they noticed blood in one car, took him to the vet as one ear had blood in it. They'll cut the length of his ear to remove the blood. He will go under. First he had to have a complete check-up, including a urine sample to see if he can take it. Heart, etc. First call cost $96.00 & the operation will be a lot more. That's their baby. Kim hoped it would happen today but for sure on Mon.
Dale doesn't come home for lunch today -- doesn't want to lose his parking spot. I make him turkey sandwiches but forgot to include the yogurt he has each lunch day.
