Look who came to visit yesterday!
Yes, our friend, Winter decided to come and cover our world white yesterday. Now, it’s really cold this morning! I had to break out my new-to-me down coat which has kept me quite toasty this morning. So, how about you? How many inches where you live?
We have been in the process of installing new phones (we were in need of an update), and a new phone service provider. Today was the day that the “switch” was made from our old provider to our new one and as those things can go our phone lines were down for about two hours. During those two hours I was reminded how thankful I am for the things in life that we take for granted. Things like phones, computers, music players, etc…I’m also thankful for great phone repairmen who were able to get our phones working in no time! Thank you, guys! We appreciate you!
Welcome to a new series on our blog! Since it is Thanksgiving week, we’re going to take each day, now through Friday, and list some things we’re thankful for. Please join us in the comments by listing what you’re thankful for as well!

Good family and friends. We’ve been so blessed with many good friends that we count as family. We have also been blessed with a very loving family that we enjoy spending time with! So, what about you? What are you thankful for today?
Well, friends. It’s only one week until we celebrate Thanksgiving! I thought it would be nice to post a family favorite recipe for all to enjoy. This is one that is always on our dinner table, and it’s not a complete Thanksgiving meal without it! If you try it, I certainly hope you enjoy it…

1 pound chestnuts
2 cups chopped celery
2 cups chopped onion
1/2 cup butter or margarine

Transfer to a large bowl; add sausage, stuffing and chestnuts. Add broth and water; toss to mix. Place stuffing mixture in a 9×13 dish and bake at 350 for 20 minutes or until heated through.
Hi, friends! Molly here, just checking in to say hello! I’m busy working on a new video that will be posted next week, so things may be a bit quiet around here…I’ll try and post something on Thursday. I just wanted to let you know why things might be quiet. Hope y’all are having a good week!
On this Veterans Day, let us remember the service of our veterans, and let us renew our national promise to fulfill our sacred obligations to our veterans and their families who have sacrificed so much so that we can live free.”
