Since it's Thanksgiving, it's time to give thanks!
First, I want to wish a Happy Thanksgiving to all our readers in Canada, who are enjoying their turkey and pumpkin pie today. I miss you so much Scrappy, Pierre, Monique, and Gord. Ah, another lifetime ago...(I am still going to visit EVERY provincial capital 'cause it's on the bucket list.)
However, since search engines can be flaky, I am happy to say I'm so thankful for the folks out in the audience who help you find your way here.
These are just some of them (and a couple of reviews). I am eternally thankful for you all, especially At Your Cervix (who sends more readers here than any other blog.)
Enjoy your day wherever you are!

Fall is here in RehabLand
The leaves have been turning shades of red and gold here in RehabLand. They aren't at their peak, but they are getting close.
Dahey, Bubba and I had a fun time taking a drive to the country to see my cousins who live in a quaint little town that dates back to the early 1800s. It's a blip in the road, but every year this time, the locals have their fall festival and people come from miles around. The cousins throw a party and invite all the relatives to see their place and go to the festival.
Bubba wasn't sure he liked it, because the corn maze was a longer walk than he expected. Some folks just don't get that, yes, there is indeed a big difference between 1/8 of a mile and 8/10s of a mile. He walked most of the way there, then decided to turn around.
We went back to the village green and signed up for the fun Money in the Hay contest. We missed the pumpkin decorating contest. Since he had a commitment at home, we couldn't stay long enough for him to enter the pumpkin pie eating contest. This was, of course, traumatic, for a preteen boy who can eat you out of house and home when you aren't looking.
Thankfully, he liked the soups and chili the cousins had, as well as the entire dining room full of sweets. He didn't make much money in the contest, but he had fun going out there with all the younger kids.
One of my cousins, an ER physician with three kids, showed up with his family. We talked shop among other things, since I rarely see him (he's always working). He's just hoping he never ever sees ebola at work. Since he practices in a much bigger town than PumpkinLand, but smaller than the regional centers, he hopes he's safe.
As we said our goodbyes, Bubba asked if we were coming back next year. I said "What do you think?"
He said, "Oh, yeah! Let's do it."
I'm so glad it turned out as well as it did. Hope you enjoy your weekend wherever you are.

Sunday Stealing, Thanksgiving edition
The Thanksgiving edition of Sunday Stealing. Enjoy it!
1. What do you have for breakfast on Thanksgiving?
Depends on when I get up. Usually something light.
2. Do you go to a Thanksgiving parade or watch one on TV?
Watch on TV.
3. Do you serve appetizers, lunch, or snacks during the day?
We eat around lunchtime and nibble the rest of the day. If I'm really prepared, I have appetizers (nothing too big or heavy.)
4. What are the traditional favorites?
Turkey, bread stuffing, mashed potatoes and gravy (all scratch), green bean casserole, cranberry sauce and pumpkin (and other) pies.
5. What new recipes will you try this year?
Maybe a dessert.
6. What part of the meal do you never compromise?
Stuffing.
7. Who gets to carve the turkey?
Usually my husband.
8. Family style around the table or buffet style and everyone sits wherever there’s room?
Combo. We have a small kitchen.
9. How many will be at your table this year?
Under a dozen.
10. Once you're at the table, do you say grace or a toast or does everyone go around and say what they're thankful for?
We say grace, then the race begins.
11. Cranberry sauce… yay or nay?
Yes, my husband would have a coronary without it.
12. What time do you eat Thanksgiving Dinner?
We like lunchtime or early afternoon.
13. Three best pies for Thanksgiving dessert?
Pumpkin, pecan and chocolate (although Dahey doesn't think it's a holiday without mincemeat)
14. Do you have dessert right after the main meal or later on?
Depends. I try to wait a bit before I serve it.
15. Favorite leftover?
Everything.

Money falling from the trees?
No, I'm not nuts, it is nuts. Pecans that is.
Those tasty morsels in your holiday pecan pie are worth plenty in the current market, since there is a shortage this year.
So, to celebrate the delivery of two brand new kitchen appliances (since both of mine died right before Thanksgiving--the dishwasher and the refrigerator) I'm baking away.
However, the pecan pie may have to wait a bit.
Stay tuned! It really is nuts out there.
