Wednesday the 22nd

It was really nice to be able to just hang around this morning for a while and not have to head out to work.  Eventually I did head to the jobs that I could do today.  Friday and Saturday I have work to do as well but I will hopefully get them done Friday.  After work I went home to my daughter's house and made my pie for Thanksgiving tomorrow.  I tried a new recipe for the pie crust that has vodka in it.  It also suggested butter instead of shortening that I usually would use.  It tasted good as dough.  😋     I am looking forward to trying some tomorrow.    It was fun working with my daughter to get the pie made.  We got to use the food processor to make the dough.  I had a difficult time just wrapping my head around the very idea of using the food processor for this.  I like to think that I am fairly flexible, but making pies for as long as I have one way, this was oddly hard.                                                                                                         
Talked with my son on the phone tonight.  He got a job in Texas where he has been staying with his dad.  He is working where he has been volunteering, at a non profit historic farm, like Plimoth Plantation for the pioneers of the south.  He is doing general repair and maintenance things there and learning about a farm too.  This may mean that he will be living there for a while.  He is rather nomadic, so anything could happen.  Getting to talk with him tonight is my happy for the day.
