Saturday After Thanksgiving

We slept a little later this morning, getting up around 7:30 a.m. After breakfast, I headed to the treadmill. I was glad for a workout after missing two days.

Mother, already downstairs when I came down after getting ready for the day, told me the story of her kitten adventure last night. The kitten stayed in her house all night, sleeping with her in her bed. But this morning, the kitten jumped off the bed and hid somewhere in the house. Mother could not find her, and the kitten didn't respond when she called. Finally, Hubbie went to Mother's house and found the kitten under the freezer. He had to take the grill off the front of the freezer to extricate the kitten. It's obvious we'll need to find a way to block the kitten's path to that "hidey hole."

We did various things for the rest of the morning, including putting out the Nativity set, and hanging Christmas wreathes. That's all the decorating we'll do until after the "Go Red for Women" survivor story filming on Tuesday. Our living room is pretty small, so I don't want to put up a Christmas tree and use space that the high school media students might need to set up their camera equipment.

Since we are going to Daughter's house for a second Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow, I baked a cherry pie as part of my contribution. Unfortunately, I didn't watch it carefully enough, so the crust is, as Hubbie put it, "high brown."

Hubbie and I also cut up fresh fruit to have with a turkey sandwich lunch. It's surprising how quickly we tire of holiday foods and yearn for plainer fare.

Again this afternoon, we listened to a game on radio...this time our favorite basketball team won handily over their opponents.

We settled for hamburgers for supper, with green bean/corn leftover from Thanksgiving, and potato pancakes made from leftover mashed potatoes.
