You must be taking your time with your T-Day post, just hope you or someone in your family isn't sick with the new "whatever's going around" thing!<br />We decided to stay up here til tomorrow and then spend the night on the way home, midway, so we can rest from our "vacation with the kids"! Then, they're coming for the weekend at the end fo the week--so I have to rush home and clean and get sheets on beds and , rest some more in between having more tests on my kidneys. I've noticed that climbing all the stairs in this house has be winded all the time, but being able to spend any time at all with my sweet family up here is---heaven!<br /> Kristi and Ed saw a cooking show that suggested soaking the turkey in buttermilk for several hours at least--actually 2-3 days if you had time and room-- then patting the buttermilk off and stuffing oranges, apple, celery and onion in the cavity. It was one of the most beautiful, moist and tasty birds we've ever had.<br />Hope to hear--and see some pictures--that you had a beautiful Thanksgiving, dear Jane!Bluebird49https://www.blogger.com/profile/01195892307835553912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-79228071481010482412014-11-29T21:55:09.713-06:002014-11-29T21:55:09.713-06:00Those mason jars are so pretty!

I could just line a row of those up on the table and I'd be perfectly happy. Looks like you've got one of those fabulous waves in your hair just where everyone wants one. Lucky girl. I used to tell my ex-husband not to shoot any bird that was sandwich size. (In other words, I'd rather go without lunch and let the little bird have its life.)Happy Thanksgiving, Jane.<br />-GineneFox and Finch Antiqueshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05945366509809871312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-7140401302258317172014-11-24T20:19:35.785-06:002014-11-24T20:19:35.785-06:00Great craft idea!

As for the hair, I feel your pain. At least you have lots of dark roots. Mine went gray way early on. I get a 'mixed metals' look when the roots grow in. I've colored my roots for years and recently did my own highlights (I know-so BOLD!).

I had to laugh at your pheasant story. I actually have three cooked pheasants in the fridge to make pheasant and wild rice soup for the kids this week. We all love it and the pheasants are compliments of Earl's uncle Arthur. He hunts regularly and a few years ago I told him I really wanted some pheasant feathers to decorate with. He showed up with feathers for me...still attached to a live pheasant! I did not know what to do. I couldn't see myself killing the poor thing. I tied a rope around it's leg and fastened the other end in a part of the chicken coop that kept it away from the chickens. It somehow got loose and when I opened the door to the coop the next time it flew away. Truthfully, I breathed a sigh of relief. I'm sure Uncle Art laughed himself silly about his "gift"!Kathleen Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11551093555973581448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-26521634794532353302014-11-24T05:58:11.890-06:002014-11-24T05:58:11.890-06:00Love your jars!

I sure need them this year! :) I have never used the Epson salts, but I was going to this year after seeing so many pretty Christmas projects everywhere. I think your hair looks beautiful! A few dark roots is nothing compare to a full stripe of white hair. Yeah, I know what I am talking about. LOL Happy Thanksgiving dear friend!

Your snowy mason jars are adorable; will give these a shot this season, thank you. And speaking of snow...when my pure white roots show up every 3½ weeks now, the top of my head looks like a snow-capped mountain! Not a pretty sight.<br /><br />Happy Thanksgiving, my friend!<br /><br />xx<br />PoppyPoppyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08980323586402386609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-17210911856940593412014-11-23T21:04:12.472-06:002014-11-23T21:04:12.472-06:00I have some jars ~ will have to try this.
