off to put up signs on the fisherman's beach for the special Christmas garage sale I will have for them, right there on the beach, tomorrow ... then I have one English class from 1:30 to 2:00 and then skedaddle home for Welsh turkey made with bacon and stuffing, homemade applesauce, cranberries, mashed potatoes, Mexican cream rice, potato salad a la Blanca, veggies with a  Polish sauce, tons of chili which Les made, 3 homemade Blanca pumpkin pies, fruit, brownies = dessert.  Not all traditional but ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh so delicious.

On a personal note, I had so many nicknames for my son Marc- sweetie, honey, munchkin, cutee, and one of them was pumpkin. It was very HARD to realize, when my sister Chris called my attention to it, that he was 16 and I was still calling him pumpkin. I had to stop. To this day, when I eat or think of pumpkin, I remember that feeling - "your kid is no longer a kid".  If I could, I would call him pumpkin forever ....

Now, get this, yesterday Les peeks out the window and sees whales literally propelling themselves out of the water !!  Whacking their tales to make big splashes. Breaching all over the place. They did this for about 30 minutes !!  They were so close to shore and played and played.  I have never seen anything like this, except at Seaworld !!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL OF YOU !!!
