Frozen Turkey Day

A happy Thanksgiving holiday to all from the Brooks Bunch. The title of this entry refers not to our turkey, which is by now thawed, but to the weather, which most assuredly is not. The current temperature outside is 19 degrees Fahrenheit, and we are expecting as much as four inches of snow by the morning. Fortunately, the rest of the weekend is expected to bring milder temperatures and no precipitation.

We will be having what I might call a half-traditional meal. Turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce as usual. But the pie will be Key Lime (though we will be having pumpkin custard, without crust). And among the treats will be turkeys made from cookies and candy pieces, by William. We'll take some pictures of those.

Speaking of pictures, I know I've been remiss in posting new ones, but I have had to struggle with my slow Internet connection, not to mention the moving of my computer because of the leak in our roof. But I will take advantage of this long weekend, perhaps transferring image files to a flash drive and taking them over to the local Internet Cafe for uploading (if they have the right kind of software). So, check in again at the end of the weekend.

For all of our friends and family on the Left Coast, we will be coming out for a visit during the last week of Decmeber and the first week of January. More information to follow.
