patty, where are the pie and rolls going to be eaten? Will you have Thanksgiving with friends? Today is Thursday and is a shadow of the holiday for us, businesses closed and a parade on TV but we'll do the prep on Saturday for Sunday's meal. I still make the dinner rolls even though I no longer eat wheat so I send the leftovers home with people (this recipe is very good, I don't have to offer twice!)

Out before dawn this morning to do the first cat feeding, and looking at houses in the neighborhoods I drove through to see if lights were on yet (nope). As a child I remember Mom being up before dawn to start all of the preparations for Thanksgiving, and we didn't eat at midday like a lot of folks do, we usually ate an early dinner, around 3pm, and that's my routine also.

This morning I switched both heat pumps over to the Heat side from Cool; they haven't run at all lately with the mild fall temperatures, but mornings are now chilly.

I've programmed the social media for the site I work for to give me a couple of quiet days, so some sewing is in order today. I've been meaning to make some new Pride face masks for a friend who also still wears the 3D masks in public places. He'll be here for our Thanksgiving.
