Not sure about Christine, but Connie and Kay go to Door County yearly.  Amber and her aunt used to go every year, but I've never been.

Hello everyone

I spent most of the day yesterday at church with Greg.  He does the audio for the church and I am still learning.  There is so much to learn.  Afterwards we went to Tap House for a late lunch.

Today I have no plans.  Except work of course.

Christine-  I was looking at a Door Co getaway.  Seeing that you go up to Wisconsin so often.  Have you been there...if so how did you like it?

Well I have to get going soon...have a good day all

I am looking forward to staying home Thanksgiving weekend. It will be the first time in a few years. We will be going to Bloomington for Turkey day itself, and doing Black Friday stuff around here.

It is cold! We will be covering our 2 office windows at work today. They are old, and do not keep the cold out.

Off to work.

Hugs,

Lisa

Four more wake-ups  and we will be in the car for our annual Thanksgiving week in the Dells.  We are extending it by one day and not coming home until Monday after turkey day. We hate the home bound deer camp traffic - too heavy. Hopefully the extra day will do the trick.

What is happening in your corner of IL?

I think you are going to be amazed by the beautiful women she has grown into! I would love to be a fly on the wall when you two first see each other at the airport.

Good morning Chris and the rest of Illinois!

I just got back from the Sunday meeting where I received my 9 month coin and everyone in the room blessed it.  Very nice.

I just have a few housekeeping things to do and then we have to be at our friend's house to pick him up and get ready for dinner at 3.

I got my first turkey yesterday and will go back tomorrow for the second.  It is in Durand, where they have the turkey for .79/lb with a $30.00 purchase.

One week from today, I will be on my way home with Olivia!  YIPPEE!  I have missed her so much.

That's all my exciting news.

The cheese fondue looks fantastic. I am not crazy about cookies but this recipe looks easy.

We have a small trip planned to drop things off at the resale shop and then will swing around into the shopping center to PU some poultry seasoning. I am making a bone in turkey breast and am just about out of the seasoning.

That is about it in a nutshell.

What is happening with everyone else?
