And all through the house --
The roasting chicken is thawing in the refrigerator (even the little turkeys were all so big!),
The pecan pie ($8.84 for enough pecan halves for a pie!) is cooling on the counter,
The crab cocktail (a VERY small batch!) is mellowing its flavors in the fridge as well,
The celery and onions for the dressing are chopped,
The bread for the dressing is torn into pieces,
Butter for the bird -- and other things -- is out on the counter.
Not a whole lot more I can do today!
As I anticipated last night, we slept in this morning, only getting up in time to watch The View. We were relaxing last night watching the finals of Dancing With the Stars (Yeah, JR won!), when the Severe Weather Alarm went off on the NOAA weather radio! Nothing like its "BLEEP! BLEEP! BLEEP!" to get your attention. We were right in the path of a raging thunderstorm that swept through the Gulf Coast area of Alabama! It POURED rain, accented with bolts of lightning and booms of thunder right over the top of us!
Fortunately, the storm only lasted a couple of hours and we were finally able to see a star or two in the night sky. After it passed, it was MUGGY and still hot. With the bedroom windows open, we were finally able to get to sleep.
