My friend Larry stopped by last night. I couldn’t figure out why he had backed up to my front porch, until he began hauling out corn stalks, pumpkins, various squash and gourds, and even baling twine. All this bounty was to get me into the mood to start decorating the porch for Halloween! It was so sweet of him to do this. I haven’t really been in the spirit of it all, like I used to be, and him bringing all of this over has gotten me now wanting to decorate. Tomorrow night I’ll take supper down to him as a thank you.

Happy Thanksgiving to Canada
I wanted to take a minute to wish all of my Canadian friends a very Happy Thanksgiving! My special friend Maxine (Maxie) in particular. She loves Thanksgiving since all of her HUGH family get together and have a wonderful time. Plus the wine flows and the food is awesome. I love to see the photos she posts for me after the day is over. She has a very loving family and it shows.
Homemade Pizza
Last night I decided to try my had at making a pizza from “scratch” so to speak. I remember years ago when I was young, my oldest friend’s mom used to make homemade pizza and it was awesome. I’ve never made it before, but with the help of my youngest daughter, we gave it a try. I have to admit, it turned out wonderfully. Of course to be honest, it cost more to make from scratch than it would have to order one, but it was well worth it, and the kids loved it also. I should have made two, since before I could blink it was all gone. I did however get a tiny slice.
Grocery shopping
I’ve been putting it off long enough. I’ve depleted my freezer meat and have run out of ideas about what to cook, so I have to go to the dreaded grocery store. I honestly don’t know many people, except maybe my mom, who like to grocery shop. I hate it more than most though. When ever I ask my family what they want for supper, generally they tell me either “free for all” meaning, they will get what they want, of tacos. I don’t like tacos but they could eat tacos and pizza everyday. I supposed I could justify this as food, considering both have in it’s own way all the basic food groups, but that is not my way of thinking. In a little while, armed with my list and some coupons I actually clipped (if I remember them…something I rarely do) I’m off to the grocery store. Ohhh Joy. 
Texas style
Usually I don’t like sweet things. I’ll get a craving every now and then for chocolate of course. I don’t know many women who don’t! Right now though, I’ve been thinking about a recipe that one of my online friends who has a blog posted. It’s for the the most wonderful looking Texas sheet cake. I’ll have to get that recipe, try it and then post it and a photo. Just looking at it made me gain 5lbs!
