Always a Winner

This really is one of my favorite days of each year, at least while we've been living here.  We always have a Thanksgiving potluck at work, and it is always outrageous.  Epic.  I've been looking forward to it for weeks, which E can attest to. 

This was my third such potluck at my current job, and it did not disappoint.  There was so much good food, and we all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.  It was very satisfying, and I really have to remember to take the camera next year. 

Then, to top it off, Aldi finally got cranberries in for the season.  This, too, is a highlight of the fall for me, because I have at least a slight obsession with cranberries.  They are $0.99 per pound at Aldi, which means that I stuff as many bags as I can into our little freezer and spend all winter adding them to oatmeal, pancakes, cranberry orange bread, etc.  Delicious!

Hello to Emelia!

We spent last weekend with our friends Megan and Andrew and their lovely three-month-old, our goddaughter, Emelia.  She could not possibly be any cuter!
