Thankgiving kept Giving

We had left overs and tomorrow I can still make soup from some of it, and we didn't even have to cook the turkey! Henry did it! What a great idea my DSIL had, to make the slave, Henry, cook all that stuff! Day four will find me making a turkey deep dish pie to cook in the new oven.

I have a little bit of knitting to report. Jane's hedgerow socks will just have to wait for the arrival of other yarn. Trekking didn't cut it for the sock. It's a very delicate pattern and needs the sort of yarn that Jane used. If the not so LYS doesn't have a proper yarn, I'll have to opt for a web source.

Sunday is DH's birthday and soon I'm going to force him to go shopping with me for something for himself. He likes to shop but apparently only for groceries and flowers now that he's into that end of the Division of Labor. Prying a sound out of his lips about what he would like in the way of some new gadget to hang on his ten speed bike, or a piece of apparel to hang on himself, is like trying to get a three year old to open wide for the dentist. I pride myself in getting people to do things that they don't want to do, and now he's my only victim. I am the Borg and Resistance is futile.

Gretchen wanted a few days off for Thanksgiving, so she got them. Meanwhile, have fun looking at these They are the tiniest and cutest knitting I've ever seen. I'd like to be able to make half of what she makes on 000000 sized needles on size 5 or 6.

Hope that you all have a nice rest after Black Friday. I didn't set foot outside the habi-trail. It just isn't worth it since all my kids are grown up, and either stash that I'm in possession of is three sizes too large as it is.

Books I'm reading: One of the Cadfael mysteries by Ellis Peters called, The Holy Thief. What beautiful prose. It's like poetry.
