Thanksgiving 2008


Happy Thanksgiving!
I spent yesterday shopping & was able to find a pie pan & a casserole dish. I then spent the day making a broccoli chicken cheese casserole (reminds me of my Mom's dish & my Nanny's dish kinda...) & then I made an apple pie from scratch. Who knew you peeled apples to put in there! That's a lot of work! And who knew there are 14 kinds of flour - bread flour, cake flour, self rising, not rising - I finally found one that said white & hope it was the right kind. We are about to find out here in a couple hours! More news to come.

Anyway - that left today free for us to pack some drinks & take the dogs to the beach. The photo is of our 2 umbrellas & Kenny is under there somewhere. We found a nice tree right by us with shade for the doggies. They had so much fun - they love to chase the crabs & run & run down the beach. Crash of course has to go swimming. So we had a great day relaxing in the shade - though I did get stung by a jelly fish while we were swimming - that hurts! Don't ask if we peed on it. You don't want to know. Did I mention it hurt a lot? I was grateful I just got the lashing of one tentacle, it could have been much worse.

So - that's the first Thanksgiving in Miri! We are both homesick but making the best of it. :)
