Quick NaNoWriMo update: I have 41,207 words. Today will be a strictly non-writing day. So, I really do have to make my days count as I head to the finish line.

My daughter’s family plus her in-laws are coming for the meal. I’m not cooking a thing, but I do have the housecleaning detail. Happily so. Anything I cook they’d have to chisel at with an axe, scrape off the burned spots, or add enough pepper to give it some flavor. Thank goodness someone in this house likes to cook.

I hope all you Americans have a wonderful Turkey Day. I hope you’re spending it with loved ones. I know it’s a lot of work, but happy faces around the table make for a nice memory.

And for anyone waiting on me to get something into the mail for them—all prizes went out yesterday!
