I had the TV on the DogTV and I was reading while the Bruise was in my lap. He was so intent on watching the TV with the dog noises and cat noises.... too funny! Dude never looks at the TV. Maggie would when there were animal sounds... Here is their ad for DirecTV... cute!!!! Watch the video.   http://dogtv.com/landing/directv/

Today is a special day... my BFF Jeannie and her Bill Patterson (LASD ret) are celebrating their 22nd wedding anniversary.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY KIDS!!!!

I know what they are doing today..... Bill is watching football and Jeannie is taking down the Fall decorations and doing laundry. Try and hold the wild abandoned celebrating down to a low roar, guys! ♥ :o)

Football today.....

Yesterday I cooked the eggs to devil today. I also dumped most of the broth from the giblets and the pan broth into the crockpot. I added some cut up turkey, the garlic that was inside the turkey, some fresh cut up carrots, 2 cans of sliced mushrooms, and a can of quartered artichoke hearts. Then added in some Harmony House vegetable soup mix and some Harmony House spinach.

It's all dried. A cup equals 6 cups fresh. It can be purchased here:

Good wishes for a wonderful Thanksgiving for you all.
