Woke up early to a bright, sunny day again. Dennis came over early to talk to the Beast (I think he was bored and it was still not warm enough for him to do any work outside). They both sat at the kitchen table, drinking coffee and being guys together until it hit around 57 outside.
In the meantime, I got dressed and did a bit of straightening up in my computer room before I left for Cee's. Once in the car and on the way, I breathed a sigh of relief because it had been a couple days since I was out and about. Cee and I always enjoy being together and just talking about this and that.
I talked to the Beast before I left for home to tell him I was stopping at the store to pick up a corned beef brisket or whatever cut they had. I asked if there was anything else he could think of that he wanted me to get but he wants to get the rye bread at Publix tomorrow since they have the best and he loves it with his corned beef. I called Cee to let her know I had found some and told her I am making it tomorrow. Once I figure when it will be ready, I'll let her know so she can join us to eat it. I DID forget to grab some new potatoes to cook with it but I may be able to get Cee to stop on her way over if she comes over an hour before the corned beef is ready. I'll check with her in the morning.
I decided to pick up what I needed to make my pumpkin pie that I have been craving. I didn't get a chance to have any on Thanksgiving so I need to make some. I'll do that while the Beast is at church and start the corned beef cooking.
I also have to call the Princess and ask her for my egg dish back that she hasn't returned yet. I've had it for about 25 years and the poor box for it is crying on the cabinet where I keep it. It's lonely...LOL. At least she returned my big crystal tray. I need to get that wrapped back into it's bubble wrap and into the box for it. I'll do that in the morning, too, since I need to get my stepladder out for that.
The Princess' hubby, Johnnycakes, made her the farm house table that she has been saying she wanted for her dining room. First I read he was going to make it and then I saw the picture of it that he posted on FB. He did a nice job but said he had to make some correction or something for the part that the Princess helped him with. I think that was just teasing on his part since it looks great to me. She wants to have a bench on one side and chairs on the other and at each end. It will seat a lot of people, I'm sure. I'm so glad she has such a sweet and loving hubby and such great kids, too. It shows how good a mother and wife she is to them.
She's also become a really good cook and she's not afraid to try something new. I still haven't found chicken enchiladas to beat hers. Yum! I could eat them any time. Of course, now people share many more recipes for various cuisines and they are so easy to prepare (most of them any way). I'm constantly surprised. I just wish the Beast were a bit more open to some of them. He'll try any kind of sweet dessert but he's more hesitant on meal items. I remember how hard it was to convince him to try artichokes. LOL!
Well, time to wrap this up for the night. I hope you liked the pictures I took at the Princess' house on Thanksgiving. I didn't take as many pictures as I should have because I spent a lot of time talking with Johnnycake's aunts and his dad so time slipped by too quickly. Cee and I had to leave before it got dark since I don't do well driving at night these days. Plus I worried about missing the small country road signs we needed to see in order to find our way out of the boonies...LOL.
Love you all. Be good. Be kind. It costs you nothing. Smile a lot. Be happy. ***Hugs***
