Just wanted to send a little Happy Thanksgiving love your way. (And remember, that's pronounced "Thánks-giving," emphasis on the "Thanks.")
I'm fretting about having to cook the meal for tomorrow. I know I can do the various potato dishes and the green bean casserole (my fave), but the turkey has me all tied up in knots. All I know is I'm starting the day off with Pillsbury orange rolls and I'll take it from there.
I'm thankful for lots of things (I have to remind myself of this often when I'm sitting at my desk at work, for I hate this place with the heat of a thousand suns). Happy and healthy children are tops on that list. I can't even put to words what it is like to watch these kids grow up. They are wonderful little maddening creatures, I must say!
This picture was taken at the last Vandy tailgate party, about twenty minutes before the sitter took the kids away and I started making a total ass of myself. Too much champagne!Anyway, check out Ella's boots. They're badass, right? Kids' Dr. Marten's!
Right now, I am thankful to NPR for releasing this: an exclusive first listen to a live Neil Young recording from 1968. It's incredible. I'm not sure how long it will be available online, but the album will be released December 2. I know Todd won't be able to wait! Anyway, Neil was only 22 when this was recorded, and he's pretty adorable. My favorite quote so far: "I used to play lead guitar . . . I used to be a blues band." It reminds me of Will Quin, when he would speak in his little English accent (I think he was quoting some movie about the fifth Beatle): "It's not a skiffle band, it's a rock and roll band. It's not my band, it's a group." He would roll his "r" so adorably on that last word. That Will Quin . . .
Here's hoping that your turkey is [m-word meaning "not dry"] and your green bean casserole is pimiento-free!
I love you!
Molly
