For a second year in a row, our Thanksgiving holiday has been marred by appliance issues; last year our washer stopped working and the dryer was starting to burn up. This year our furnace decided to quit working, during a very cold winter weather streak!!! We made it through with lots of firewood, plug in heaters and blankets. It wasn't all that bad actually.
Thursday we (Joe, Lillian, Granny and myself) spent huddled around the fireplace with breaks to eat and drink. On Friday we headed to see Joe's parents and brother/cousins. And to pick up some free firewood.
Our dinner: squash soup, turkey and gravy, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, rolls, pumpkin pie with homemade whipped cream, wine and sparkling apple cider.
