Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving Sunday everyone! Our weather is overcast and a bit cool but what a glorious week we just had 😎 We have also been enjoying some beautiful early morning skies. More Summer like weather on the way for this coming week.

All is good with us. Our week came and went in a flash. The main event was Cooper's follow up consultation with his specialist, which went very well. The blood work results are good and the gallbladder ultrasound showed no more biliary sludge. Needless to say, it's a big relief to know that Coop is stable on all fronts and for that, we are grateful. His next follow-up is in one year. It's been a process to get to this point.  Cooper's digestive system seems to be in a good place now and we will do everything we can to keep it that way. 

On Wednesday, after my workout, I got some yard work done.  I hope to do more this coming week. 

We noticed that our leaves are not changing fast this year compared to last year. Our crabapple tree has lost most of its leaves though and it makes for very pretty branches with just the crabapples hanging on. The squirrels love them. 

I'm writing my blog on the deck and I can smell the turkey that's in the oven... so can Cooper & Spicy 😋 Our 20 pounder will take about 4 hours and a bit to cook, rest time for one hour then dinner around 6:30. I'm hungry already! The vegetables are all cooked, just need to reheat.  There will be lots of leftovers for the week. It's a good thing because Russell has a colonoscopy on Friday morning at 10:30. As of Tuesday, he will be on a low fiber diet and will be allowed to eat lean meats and root vegetables...turkey and turnip will be perfect. On Thursday noon, the cleansing process starts. 

Those are my little news.  We hope everyone is enjoying this long holiday weekend. As for us, it's a quiet day, just us four. We are counting our blessings, not just today, everyday. Happy Thanksgiving!

Cooper, Spicy and a pumpkin...what says

The bright red crabapples are hanging on...
most of the leaves have fallen.

Morning skies are amazing, this was Monday.

Pill pockets to the rescue.
