Stop and Shop had shady brook turkey breast on sale for .99cent a pound. I bought 4 of them. Three are in the freezer. The one I made on Sunday I took butter, fresh sage, parsley, oregano, garlic, salt and pepper mixed it all up good and put it under the skin and a little on top. I also cook all turkeys in an oven bag just because it cuts out so much time. It was so moist and delicious.
It was such a chilly weekend that smelling that turkey cooking and the heat from the oven was so nice.
I love a pre-Thanksgiving Turkey meal when the weather turns.

Good Morning Jen and Meneurs,
I love the photo of you mom. She is in her happy place. Today I took a cookie to my car wash lady. She is so nice so every so often After I make a batch of cookies, I take her one. Then on really cold days I take her Hot Cocoa. She loves when Rudy is in the car. Today I have a manicure at lunch and tonight I have to run Mom to bowling. 2 days till I get to hanf with Jim and Marilyn. Looking forward to some time away from work.
QOTD: I recently did a dry October thinking the alcohol was killing my efforts to lose some of the gain. It did not make a difference on the scale. So, I will go back to my social intake and every so often I will go a little crazy. I love a good bourbon and 2 is usually enough. 3 puts me in my happy place and four will hurt in the morning. Live and learn.

You both look great. Marilyn's dress and hair are beautiful. I used to carry slippers in my purse for when my feet would get too sore from the heels. I have had broken heels but never had a shoe deteriorate. What a miserable thing to go through and she still looks so put togethe and happy.

Of course Marilyn didn't let shoes take her smile! Great picture, Jim!

Good morning, Mary and all!
This is kind of a hump day because I am off to Pittsburgh on Thursday morning, But there is never a day when I don?t have emails and some work either.
Poor Marilyn had a double shoe blowout at our dinner the other night.
Hiding the offending shoe. Movie fans may recognize those stairs from The Untouchables.
We left our car at the valet and when we were walking in she said ?these shoes are too big, I think that I need to fill them with tissue .? But then a few more steps and she said ?my shoe is broken ?
I thought that she meant her heel was broken, but no, the glue had dissolved over the years and the left side of the upper had completely dislodged from the sole, flinging her foot out into the wild.
We did some scavenging and were able to find scotch tape and an elastic, which she wrapped around the offending upper. Fortunately, she had a very long dress on. With the jury rigged shoe she made it through ****tail hour and even brought me for a picture.
We sat down for dinner and the program, and when we stood up for dest, BAM! The other shoe blew out. There was to be no tape this time, the offending shoe went into the trash and dessert was eaten in stocking feet.
QOTD: Still trying to go at with the kids.
Breakfast: Bagel
Lunch: Steak
Dinner: Butter Chicken and Naan
Have a great day, all!

I never was a real drinker. When we went out I would order drinks with fruit or ice cream. My husband said it was much cheaper to take me to the Dairy Queen and I actually enjoyed that more. I used to have one or two drinks. After surgery I get light headed from half a drink. Especially if I do not eat before. I have an arrangement with my nephew. I order the fancy drink with things like pineapple juice and little umbrellas. I drink a small amount of it and then Kenny finishes it for me. He is always so happy when I order a drink because he knows he will actually drink most of it.

It is already Tuesday and feels like it was just Friday. I had a great weekend with my family. We went to a Korean resturant and shared a lot of different appetizers and entries. The beef shortrib ragu and the butternut squash risotto was really good. But seeing people is the best part of going out.
I always loved volleyball and when I was a teenager used to spend hours working on my serve and playing games. I don't have enough speed or balance for that anymore. But I am learning that there is always a way to do things, even if it is a very different way from when I was younger.
QOTD: Have you found a way to do a sport that is harder as you get older? I am joining my senior center chair volleyball team. It looks funny but a good way for seniors to stretch and work on balance.
