Another week is here and it will be a busy one for most of us.    I got all my grocery shopping done and have a 22 lb. turkey defrosting and will probably wait til Wednesday to begin cooking.   It usually takes 2 or 3 days but since there will only be 6 of us, I should be able to whip it up in just one day.     Sorry  string bean casserole was the first think crossed off the list this year as I always made it for Kathy but she, Dave and the kids won&#39;t be coming this year.  <br /><br />I hope everyone had a good weekend.  I made serious headway in getting the dining room ready for the holidays and did most of our packing for vacation.<br /><br />Falina - so sorry things aren&#39;t working out with the puppy and the cats.    Hopefully it will work out with her going with your DD.    <br /><br />James - sorry you team had a less than stellar day.    <br /><br />Jenn - glad you had a good day with your Mom and got her house decorated for the holidays.   I have enough trouble getting one house done.   I can&#39;t imagine having to do two.   <br /><br />Ed - hope you are feeling OK.   It&#39;s not like you to stop by and say Hi.<br /><br />Rose - it appears things are warming up a bit in Fla.    Good luck with the latest project.<br /><br />Time to begin my day and try and catch up after our busy week last week.   Jim is off the early part of the week but will have to fill in for his partner on Friday and Saturday.   He could hardly say no since he will only work 3 days the following week before we leave on vacation and Tony will be doing double duty til Christmas.   <br /><br />Have a great day.
