Hi Chris and Holly. So glad you had a great Monday. John and I had some errands to do in the morning and then we spent the afternoon organizing the kitchen to get ready for Thanksgiving cooking. Your stuffing sounds delicious. I have only had the traditional bread stuffing. I guess we love it so I never changed my recipe. I still make it the same way my grandmothers made it.

Can't wait for the games on Thanksgiving. It is going to be a football afternoon and evening. We are planning on eating dinner between the games.

Hope you get some great treats today. Treats are always good!!

You and Holly have a great day. Loved the pictures as always. Our Cardinals love visiting the sunflower seed feeder and scold us if it gets empty. They are so funny. We had to fill it yesterday. The little finches also like the sunflower seeds so we end up filling it about every three days.

Hugs to you and Holly
John and Debbie
