Throw Back Thursday....
Me, 1950, with my favorite doll, a gift from Santa....
And... I still have her... she's sitting in a chair that belonged to Jerry
that hung in the garage forever and I finally painted it..
This was a Dionne Quintuplet doll. She is all made from plaster with rubber
strings inside to let the legs and arms and head move. The eyes open and close.
I read somewhere that they are worth about $300 each now.
Yesterday I went to the post office to pick up a package. It was the DVDs
of the Ed Sullivan Shows. Will be fun to watch. Then stopped at the market. A
zoo~!! Parking lot was insane! Got home and made deviled eggs (Brian's fav) and
organized the dips, veggies, chips, and wine I was taking to Jean's. Jen's mom
made Christmas Eve dinner... Food was awesome, so great to see Marie (Jen's
cousin) and Jimmy (Jen's brother). Pictures later.....

National Pumpkin Pie Day
Today is a very special day. It's National Pumpkin Pie Day. It's one of
America's favorite pies. Pumpkin pie is steeped in holiday tradition. The peak
consumption period for pumpkin pie begins at the fall harvest, and lasts all the
way through to the Christmas meal and dessert.
One
might wonder why have National
Pumpkin Pie Day on Christmas Day.
Unfortunately, we have yet to find the creator of this day. So, the timing
remains a mystery. However, we are thankful for this special recognition, and
will certainly have a little pumpkin pie with our whipped cream
today
