AFTER THE MEAL OR WHAT TO DO FOR THE REMAINING HOLIDAY WEEKEND



Time has come again to think up how to use that left over turkey. You know that giant carcass sitting in the fridge waiting to be made into the usual turkey tetrazzini, turkey hash, turkey sandwiches and finally turkey soup !!! What the hell , I'm tired of cooking by this point during the holiday but since I know a poor family of 5 could live off the remaining flesh and so on I must go and not waste a smidgen of food. Well, I'll fix the tetrazzini today and maybe I can freeze the remaining beast to deal with it another day.











"Any who", as they say, I've another task to do at some point this weekend ; where the hell to put the nine zillion leaves that are falling in my back yard. And who doesn't love raking up fall leaves?


ME ! ME ! , I don't find any pleasure in the task. I don't dislike planting or pruning nor even weeding but there is just something so bothersome about raking. Someone has to do it and I know that means me , but why lord oh why are there so many coming down all at once ?


I hear it is suppose to be sort of windy today so maybe I can use that excuse to put it off until tomorrow because as Scarlet said, tomorrow is another day and I'll just think about it then, maybe....






AND SO A PENNY FOR YOUR THOUGHT



Thanksgiving has always been one of my favorite holidays in that it has to do with getting together with family and friends, no gift giving involved just bring a dish and your appetite. So why is it we rush over it so and hurry into the malls and big box stores to save a few dollars on that greediest time of year laying in wait just around the corner ? Why do we live for tomorrow and not enjoy today ? What does it all mean if we never stop to smell the proverbial rose ? Have we really been so conditioned by Madison Avenue that we can't hold off just a few days more and enjoy what we have now ? I like to hope that there are still a few of us out there that can stop and remember what truly does matter in this life and in our world. There are still multitudes of souls on this planet that couldn't even afford what we waste on ribbons and bows let alone dream up up why they might need yet another cell phone or that 3rd or 4th flat screen HD TV. You know, I for one am going to wait and ponder it all and stay right here this Thanksgiving weekend and hell, I might just go pick up that rake and see if I can't find some pleasure in raking up all those leaves.
