Good Morning everyone! Three days till Thanksgiving! I put my turkey in the fridge out in the garage to thaw out. I have all the ingredients for everything I'll make so I'm all set!! I think I'm going to make some treats today....I want to try out Sarah's recipe that she posted (http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/post412878-551.html). I used to make something similar and it was called "Tree Bark". Made almost the same way except it had chopped nuts sprinkled in with the chocolate chips. Anyway, I'm gonna make that today.

Debbie, it sounds like your MIL is struggling with some mild dementia. My Mom started out like that....sort of a mix of being able to do things and not quite being able to do things. It would come and go. You're so sweet to be so patient with her and give her things to do. We used to keep a clothes basket of small towels and wash cloths ready and waiting. If she became too anxious or we felt she was feeling left out we'd give her that basket and ask her to help by folding the laundry. Worked every time.....except the day she said "you know I've been folding the same set of towels for months now. When are you gonna put them away?" We had to laugh!!

It's cloudy and supposed to rain here today and they're saying that in extreme North GA there might even be some snow flurries!!! Yay!! It won't amount to anything but it's pretty to watch.

Please keep my sister in your prayers.....she still hasn't found a job and she just bought a car and a condo! She's been in her condo about a year now. She's very worried as she has almost been through her savings and will have to rely on Unemployment till it runs out or she finds something.

I should have logged in overnight as I was up when Frank and Fin were up, too! I've sort of gotten into the habit of going to bed at a decent hour but waking up (and getting up) between 12-1 AM and staying up for about an hour then going back to bed. As you can see....I don't sleep more than three hours at a time.

Hey, has anyone heard from Tara (Blues Girl) or Becky lately? They haven't posted much.

I hope everyone has a good day....stay warm if it's cold where you are.....'s and 's for those who need them!
