Turkey Time!

We are in turkey mode here at the Abel house. We have this down to a science. We did this Sunday for church dinner and we are doing it again tonight for Ken's work dinner. I cut up onion and celery to partially fill a medium size bowl. I also hard boil 6 eggs and cook about 30ish biscuits. Ken bakes the cornbread and puts the turkey in the roaster before we go to bed. We get to wake to the smell of turkey. Mmmm! Then we get busy. Ken has the most to do! He takes the bird out, takes some of the broth out, dumps in the crumbled cornbread,biscuits, diced onions and celery, and seasonings. I am peeling the eggs, pre-warming the crock pot, and waiting to taste to see if there is enough flavor. Ken gets the meat off the bones and it is time to start heating the broth for the gravy. Now I get to add flour and if I don't add it right the gravy ends up lumpy! Not sure how that works, but I just go with it. Ken finishes up the gravy and we load it up! All of this happens in about 45 minutes or less. I had a great day today! Two of my grandsons, Oran and Mack, went to school with me for the day. They were a delight. They were very well behaved and my class loved having them as guests! I am on the iPad again. I haven't had time to check out the computer. I want to get on and find a new computer. I will have some time over Thanksgiving. I talked to Charme' tonight and she is doing better except for the headaches. She will go to the doctor in the morning. I hope she gets some relief. She has off until Monday. I pray she will have her strength back and feel ready to teach by then. I am so thankful to be alive! Life is grand!
