I was tagged by my sister Michelle to post the 4th picture from the 4th file of the My Pictures folder on my computer. Which hard drive do I choose? I chose My Book and this is what I came up with:

My nephew Eric - Christmas 2005

What I'm thankful for

It's that time of year for reflection and to acknowledge the things we are thankful for. Here are a few things I am thankful for.

My family - thank you for being there when I need you.

My friends - same goes for you, too. Thanks for listening.

My job - most days.

My health - taking care of a couple issues right now, but overall, still good.

My children - ok they're cats, but they're still my children.

Music - couldn't imagine life without it.

I'm sure there's much more, but it would take all day to list and I don't want to bore you.

YUM!

I slaved all day Wednesday to make pies for Thanksgiving dinner. Here's part of what I went through.

**start with the pastry**form into nice round ball**make sure it fits**

**fold in half*****fold in half again*****place in pie plate**

**unfold*****tuck under edges*****flute the edges**

**prick with fork***close up shot***HOT 450 degree oven**

**bake for 10-12 minutes*** The end result***

I was too lazy to take pictures of the filling process so you just get to enjoy the end result. Yum! I actually had time to make the pastry from scratch this year. Had a little left over so I rolled it out, sprinkled it with sugar and cinnamon and baked. Forgot how flaky and yummy my recipe is.
