       Quite cold overnight  when i git u at 6 am  is was 52 F inside (42F outside), great for sleeping, so I turned our heat on and got warmed up nicely in no time.
      First off the result of last night's hockey game. Not great. In the first few minutes of the first period our Grandson blew our his knee, not good. off to the dressing room and got looked after with ice packs  on it then he hobbled away for the night. We did get to see him for a bit but he was in pain hope he gets it taken care of and recovers soon. We did not see the end of the game but I know it was a close one think they were defeated 3-2.

These guys are very large and very fast 15-16 year olds

our grand daughter #3 sat right in front of us and kept looking at me
with wide wonderful eyes sitting with her mom

still looking at me sitting with here dad

       This morning about 8 am I headed into Plattsville, Pettigrew's garage to make an appointment to get our coach serviced next week and the repairs at sometime to our car. Chatted with an old friend there for quite a while then back home.

An intersting sunrise  this morning on my drive to town 

       Now back here my plan today is to cook up a 20 lb turkey I picked up on sale ( 89 cents a lb, that would be .68 cents a lb US dollars) here for our Thanksgiving meal on Monday at my daughter's in Aurora. I like to cook it ahead so it it all ready to serve when we get there, Just reheat it with lots of drippings, gravy and put the skin back on . Works grea, did that in my restaurant for years and works wonderful on the day of.

This be a nice 20 lb turkey
In the oven by 10 am

     Then soon time for lunch Suzie has been helping Sandy do some cleaning and we were all hungry . Lunch to day and (egg mc muffin) Ok a fried egg on an English muffin with peameal bacon and cheese, Much better than Mickey D's.

oh so tasty

      Right after lunch I did grocery run for Sandy to New Hamburg to pick up a few needed items for the weekend here.
      I like to roast a bird breast side down so that the white meat stays moist. In 4 hours it was done to perfection. I let it rest for a while, cool down and remove the meat form the bones, fall apart.

nicely done and moist upside down

    While it was resting I cleaned the wax off and cut up 3 Rhutabaga's. (Simlar to turnip only better) This is a chore, a very hard vegetable. Remove the wax coating and chop up.

3 nice sized ones.

they will be  covered with water and boiled.
then mashed with butter, salt , pepper and brown sugar

       This taken care of then time for me to make a salad  to go with some BBQ;d chicken for supper on their Weber Q.

Breasts for us drumstick for them

Sandy made some rice and veggies and
we enjoyed a very tasty meal together

     A good day for inside work and cooking, no time to read today. Still only 54F at 8 pm another good nights' sleep.
     Just a nice productive day getting things ready for our Thanks giving weekend with families.
     Thanks again for stopping on by. We looking forward to a few days of warmer weather, before it cools off again.
