My steri-strips fell off, giving us the first look at my eye brow. Hubby examined it closely and declared that it isn’t perfect. It got me to thinking. Are any of us really perfect? (Besides my Savannah, who is perfect in every way!) Not really. Maybe our ears stick out, or our noses are too big, or in my case I am a patch work all over my face.

My skin cancer and the surgeries that followed taught me so much about how I have looked at life and what is truly important.

I am alive. I am happy and I hope I am a good person. Isn’t that what counts in this crazy world of ours?

I worked on Sunday to clean up my kitchen. (28 cabinets and 4 drawers and one wine rack) I washed each and every cabinet and the wine rack and drawers. That took me all morning. Then this afternoon I did laundry. All of it. Sheets, towels, clothes and doggy blankets.

There is a Sunday roast in the oven and I’m planning the turkey day cooking. Some I can do the day before, but some has to be done on Thursday. Thanksgiving, like actually cooking the turkey!

But the green beans and butternut squash are all done and in the freezer. The stuffing I will make the day before, so I can stuff the turkey cold. I always make my own gravy and I’ve been reading that you should start to make the base the day before.

I will also make the apple pie on Wednesday during the day. And I am thinking about making a cranberry/orange sauce on Wednesday too. Hubby wants pearl onions. Thankfully he just wants them boiled.

I’ve done some Christmas shopping as well. Mostly for Mandy and Matt and Savannah! Oh my sweet family! It is so wonderful to buy gifts for them!

Sunday night ended with us enjoying our roast beef dinner, and of course, me doing the dishes. Yah-hoo (not)!

Have a great Monday Everyone!!!
