Gotta Love Someone Else's Scraps!


A member of my Tuesday sewing group recently brought a large tub of scraps destined for use in dog beds.  Well, of course I couldn’t let the opportunity pass for harvesting some of them for my own use.

 


Consequently, my collection of light a dark precut 2-inch squares is growing.  I’ve started accumulating neutral two-inch squares in another tray.

 


Our Thanksgiving was a small but joyous one.  It also happened to be my birthday, and I got a lot of pampering.  We opted to have our local grocery store cook everything.  It was an extravagance, but a much appreciated one.  Our daughter and one grandson made a day trip out of the day, but when she discovered she had left her favorite electronic device behind we got a bonus visit Saturday so she could retrieve it.  She even brought snacks for us to enjoy as we watched the Texas and A&M rivalry game.  The right team, in my opinion, won though I believe our grandson who is a senior at A&M would strongly disagree.

The more and more I think about it I think I need to order or go out for Thanksgiving also - I'm getting tired of all the cooking! Happy Birthday :)

That sounds like a winner having someone else do the cooking. The only thing missing was the smell of it all cooking for several hours, and I don't think I would really miss that.

Sounds like you enjoyed your birthday, glad it was happy. I cooked like I always do, but it just didn't taste as good to me this year. Opting for someone else to do the cooking sounds wonderful. Our son and DIL and grandson are all Aggies and were quite dejected. We are getting used to dejection with our Sooners this year. :(
