Little Kyler, is Home.
but, sadly... he's not out of the woods.
He had some bleeding in his brain, but...that's actually...Good News.
It happened during birth, and should clear up.
Unfortunately... he has some other issues, that are concerning.
Hopefully, they...too... will go away, with time. : )
Please...Keep him, and his Family...in your Prayers.
<3
I've been up, since 3:00 a.m.
Cleaning...and Cooking. : )
The more I cleaned...
The More...I saw how Much More...needed to be done.

I, finally...had to quit, and focus on Food. : )
Liz, cooked the Turkey.
Katie...made a Pie...
and...
I...Made Way Too Much...of Everything Else! : )
I make a Stuffing, that is Insane.

I only prepare it three times a year.
It's a Heart Attack in a Cast Iron Cooker!!!
I found the recipe.... when I first moved out on my own.
I've cooked this Stuffing, since I was 15 years old.

Miss. Scarlett asked if she could stay, the night.
I told her... if she helped me do dishes... she could. : )
She Happily...Agreed!
<3
I, didn't have her help...: ) She was having too much Fun, playing games.
: )
When I sat down...tonight, at The Old...Harvest Table,
{Only me, and Harold...could Love. <3 {and, Ed. : ) <3 }
I thought... next year...we are going to need a Bigger Table!
So Many...Grandbabies!
: )
I'll have to find a Table, we can join up, with The Old....Harvest Table.
This, Old Friend...isn't going...Anywhere. <3
Scarlett walked up, as I was thinking...at the end of the Table...
She said....
"Grandma.... this Table....is Amazing. It looks so neat, all cleaned off."
Sadly... The Old Harvest Table, is a Work Horse, these days.
It's been layered...with Papers, forever.
I've been doing so much book work...It's been more of a Desk, than Dining Table.
: (
I'm hoping....to change that.
A 'Family' Table...is so Important.
: )
Hope...You, had a Wonderful....
Thanksgiving.
<3
Hope...you ate Way Too Much!!!
: )
Love, to ya...
