JP is back to work today, so the girls and I have done a "Hunger Games" movie marathon. We had left-over Thanksgiving dinner this evening. It was nice to not have to do anything today, since I ended up working in the kitchen from 9 AM until 5-ish, with small breaks for breakfast and dinner.
It is hard to scale down a feast for four people, and even harder to scale down a turkey when there are only 2 meat eaters in our house. Hence, we have plenty of left-overs to enjoy in the next couple of days. We had 2 kinds of pie, because I wanted to try a recipe for Cranberry Custard Tart.
It was beautiful...
and delicious, but I will never make it again - way too complicated!
We had pumpkin pie too, of course.
We all worked hard last weekend. We moved and stacked wood to the lean-to by the barn to use for heating our home this winter.
Last weekend was also my Grandma's 105th birthday. We were hoping to make a quick trip to OH to sing and hold this sign up outside of her nursing home room window, since it is closed to visitors, however, our states have closed their borders and are requiring quarantining for those who travel - something I am unable to do because of work. Instead, we mailed her the sign. I hope she got it, because we just learned that she has contracted COVID.
It's absolutely crazy how fast the COVID case count is growing in our county. I had a ZOOM call with my friends on Wednesday, which was absolutely lovely. I wish things were different, but here we are - hunkered down and trying to stay safe.
I saw this rainbow on my drive to work on Wednesday - I think it is a symbol that this too shall pass.
