There was a mother-daughter day of shopping, where we
experienced an odd version of salesmanship when an employee spotted us
grimacing at the smell of one of the candles. She bustled over and took us
through a tour of some of the candles she thought were even stinkier. Such
honesty was refreshing as this season of uber-shopping begins.
There
was a whole-family pilgrimage to the museum, where Horton braved the cold -
and
the dinosaur – like the tropical creature he is – was dressed for the weather.
Other residents were there to greet us as well.
alive. . .
and thankfully,
not-so alive.
Now reminders from Thanksgiving fill the mind with memories, the idle hours with activity, and the belly with good hot soup.

Ah...turkey soup.....the very best part of a turkey dinner.
ReplyDeleteAnother good Thanksgiving, in the books. I wonder how many of us are off the turkey wagon. Our family put the cards on the table a few years back--who really doesn't like turkey, leftovers, and especially turkey soup. It was unanimous, and turkeys are not only safe from the White House, they are safe from us.
ReplyDeleteI made turkey hash in memory of my mother, but I remember she did the same thing, she cooked that carcass and then took out all the bones... it was the best soup (or turkey hash, as she called it) that I ever tasted. I'll bet yours is good, too! :-)
ReplyDeleteWe had chicken. Two don't care for Turkey No shopping...
ReplyDeleteMy daughter didn't want the carcass so I got to bring it home. Happy dance! It's my favorite part of the turkey.
ReplyDeleteSoup seems like just thr right thing this time of year. But not from dinosaur bones hehe
ReplyDeleteThe laundry that is! I can identify with THAT one. We're at our muddiest time of year around here!
ReplyDeleteI don't like turkey, but I do the soup thing with every chicken carcass, sometimes even buying just a couple of chicken carcasses from the poultry shop for extra flavour.
ReplyDeletePass that soup...that looks good. I had TG elsewhere and no leftovers, alas.
ReplyDeletemy turkey carcass went in the trash. this from people who save the tiniest amount of leftovers to go in a pot for soup.
ReplyDeleteRenewed interest in leafy greens and a non-carb diet! Isn't that the truth! You make me smile. And just wait til the first of the year gets here. Soup sounds really good right now.
ReplyDeleteSoup looks good! I like your snowman, how fortunate you are that he melted:)
