Thankful in the Season of Gratitude
We spent last weekend in Atlanta visiting our oldest daughter, and had the best time. The weather was perfect and we did all sorts of fun stuff. It’s been my goal to get a pic with Buzz, Georgia Tech’s Yellow Jacket mascot (and NCAA Mascot Champion) since 2019. 7+ years later, here we finally are! Haha!
Tuesday’s trail intervals felt amazing. The bionic hip has been feeling great, knock wood. I’m so glad I got out to enjoy the amazing fall weather before the wintry stuff creeps in. Some have asked if I miss running. The answer is no. I’m able to do just enough of it to keep me happy. Running has been very good to me for many years and honestly, I’m grateful I’m still able to do any running at all.
My little cottage bakery has been bumping! I had to cut-off Thanksgiving orders, to make sure I could actually bake everything without running myself ragged. Many have ordered sourdough dinner rolls for Thanksgiving and I’ve been in the test kitchen debating whether I want to do crusty rolls or soft ones. At the moment, I’m leaning toward soft. Which do you prefer?
Our luggage tags arrived for our Christmas trip so that is getting real very quickly. There’s so much to do between now and then, I can’t even think about traveling yet.
On Saturday we celebrated 28 years of wedded bliss. I swear, where did the time go?
Both of our daughters fly in on Saturday, and I don’t have to tell you how excited I am to have them home with us. I’m already chipping away at the groceries I’ll need to host Thanksgiving dinner. Looks like 16 will be in attendance. My goal is to do as much as possible ahead of time.
How was your week? What are your Thanksgiving plans? Soft or crusty sourdough dinner rolls?
Happy anniversary, Marcia! And what a lovely photo of the two of you!
Your cottage bakery sounds like it’s really taking off. Wow, so many Thanksgiving orders already! I’d definitely vote for the crusty sourdough rolls. And 16 guests for Thanksgiving dinner sounds like quite an operation! I’m sure you’ll pull it off beautifully, especially with all that advance planning. 😊
Happy anniversary to you both! Sounds like your bakery is dong really well! I can see how that might get crazy trying to fulfill all the orders. Do you bake everyday!? Glad to hear your hip is feeling so good and you are back to doing what you love. Nice to have you back here
I can’t image hosting Thanksgiving dinner for 16 PLUS make breads and rolls up until then for your customers. You’re going to be BUSY, but I have no doubt you’ll pull it off beautifully! BTW, soft rolls would be my choice!
How fun to finally get a picture with Buzz! Have you gotten one with Hokie Bird? My friend Michelle was Hokie Bird when we were at Virginia Tech – back when he had the super long neck. We got a lot of pictures with the current Hokie Bird at our 30th reunion.
Wow, you ARE busy! So much baking!!! Luckily baking is fun. Let’s see… I think soft rolls for Thanksgiving? Crusty does sound good, but we always have soft rolls on our Thanksgiving table. Cranberry orange sourdough bread sounds AMAZING.
Glad you’re out there running and walking! Running should be fun, not something you do out of obligation or pressure. Sounds like you’re hitting that sweet spot.
Enjoy having your daughters home!!! It’s hard when they move out, but then such a celebration when they come home for holidays.
Ooooh, I love warm, crusty rolls with lots of butter, but Thanksgiving should be soft.
I’m glad to see you back here, and also glad that your hip is doing well. You’re getting in lots of movement, and I am so happy that things are going well for you and your business!
