A Time of Thanksgiving

It has been a busy, busy week getting ready for the family to come over for Thanksgiving, but it is all worth it. I enjoy having people to my home and Thanksgiving is the only holiday I get to do. We don't have a big get together, just my parents and my brother and his family, but it is fun to watch the girls play and stuff. I cooked the ham and turkey this year, a first for me, but all is good. We haven't had turkey the past few years so I only did a turkey breast and it was more then enough.

As for Friday I am not someone to go out and shopping, I am not that crazy. I stayed home and enjoyed having a day off and didn't do much at all, it was very nice. I enjoyed watching Netflix all day on my tv, I bought a box this week to watch the instants on my tv, great buy! I don't have cable, because I can't afford it and now even more don't need it. I did get a few things done and one is finally getting my jewelry out where I can see it and hopefully remember to wear it more now. I don't have a jewelry box and my jewelry had been in a draw and it gets tangled up and I forget about. I have been looking on Pinterest.com (love that website) for idea and got some good ones that helped me come up with one. I already had a wood hanger (don't know what else to call it) that I wasn't using, so I hung it to put stuff on. On the center rod I put a long peace of ribbon to hang my pins or broaches on. I think it worked out good and the best part I tried a trick on Pinterest.com to hang it. It need two nail in the wall to hang it, so I put a little tooth paste on the back over each hanger and then pressed it against the wall and then put the nails in where the tooth paste is. It worked great, I am loving all the ideas I am getting off of Pinterest.
