Good Morning everyone on this Thanksgiving Morning. I was up and out of bed at 7 a.m. (insert Rocky theme here)
turkey bowl at the Franklin football field. He layers up… and then I make him layer up again (it is 1 degree below zero this morning.) double layered I put on my snow boots hop into the pre-warmed Durango and drive to the football field.
We are greeted by Lynfield (organizer and mastermind behind this odd tradition of snow football) who informs us that the turkey bowl has been canceled due to the cold weather.
“DOH!”
No worries…. we live about 3 miles from the field so its not like we traveled for hours to the event.
So back home we go…. as my hubby plows out the driveway I do my Thanksgiving dinner check list (I have to do this as I am notorious for remembering a dinner item I forgot to put on the table about half way through the meal….) .
Today I am making one of my favorite salads, its quick, easy and delicious.
Broccoli/Cauliflower Salad
chop up equal bite size pieces of cauliflower and broccoli
cut in half both red and green seedless grapes
cook up and cut in little pieces several slices of turkey bacon (optional)
Put all in large salad bowl
add light miracle whip and sugar to taste (I use Splenda)
Mix well – refrigerate until ready to eat
Today, be thankful for the people who make up your life….they are part of your life book, leaving their mark on your heart in so many different ways. They may be with you for a lifetime… or for a season… but they are all part of your story.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours! May your day be filled with heart joy!

Happy Thanksgiving, Sheila! I can’ t believe it’s so cold there! It’s damp and dreary here, but I don’t think it ever gets below zero. Stay warm!
Happy Thanksgiving to you too Kathy! 😀
Happy Thanksgiving Sheila!
Happy Thanksgiving Jill! 😀
It’s colder than usual here, and a bit foggy…but nothing like your home…
Hope you have a warm and cozy Thanksgiving, and that salad sounds fabulous!
Happy Thanksgiving Laurel! It is definitely a great day just to hang out at home! 🙂
We were surprised to get up this morning and find it snowing here. It’s not impossible, but it’s definitely atypical for us. Not much accumulation, just enough to make it look pretty outside.
Hope you have a great Thanksgiving! =)
Thanks Megan, Happy Thanksgiving to you too! 😀
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving Sheila. I hope it’s filled with love and laughter.
It’s cold here but not that cold (thank goodness) it’s only supposed to be about 27-28 degrees today. Believe it or not though it was 64 yesterday.
Well my turkey is in the oven, the potatoes are on the stove, and Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade is playing. I just have to decide if I feel like running to the store for more soda.
Thank you Ryan, Happy Thanksgiving! Enjoy the weather…. yours sounds pretty awesome to me!
Happy Thanksgiving!
Had to laugh at Ryan’s post, as I was at the store at 8am to pick up soda and sour cream. No matter how well I think I’ve planned, I always forget something!
Have a great day! 🙂
Oh my gosh… I hear you…. I went shopping yesterday at 7 am…. and still today I was kicking myself because I forgot to buy extra butter. 😀
Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving Sheila !
Its snowing where you are and its raining…I will change that- POURING here in my city !
I do not mind the rain (it is better than the heat ) but for crying out loud it is supposed to de NOVEMBER ie., ‘sans rain’. I guess God is having a technical problem !
You have got me thinking again about the people that I need to acknowledge and thank in my life ,especially my mother and my two best friends. It is amazing the way we create relationships with people especially the ones who come into our lives for (as you said) , maybe just for a while and…you are just not ‘you’ any longer. One such new friendship is the friendship I have found in you. Thankyou for being yourself and in that way making my life a little more special everyday after I end my day reading your blog……you are an amazing person and will be missed while at the Honduras.
Enjoy your day with family and friends….God bless !
Wow Fiza, what a sweet comment! Thank you! I will pop in from Honduras when I can – when I am at the missions house I will have internet… guest posts every day…. all will be just like I was here:D
I hope you were able to talk with your mom and your best friends today – this is a wonderful day to do it. 🙂
My mother and I spent some quality time together after a whole week and both my best friends and I were teleconferencing after 3 months !!!
It was a really special day for me ! Have fun !!
Fiza that is so fantastic!
Happy Thanksgiving to you Sheila!!!
Thank you Amanda! Happy Thanksgiving to you too!
