I have been cooking all morning. I made hot roll dough to refrigerate, cornbread for stuffing, an apple pie and a pumpkin pie and will put in the turkey about midnight.

I also fixed up a lot of food to take to a couple that are very down and out. They only get one hundred forty dollars worth of food stamps to last a month. We all know how high groceries have gotten. Most of us can help one struggling family.

Well, I am finally over the poison ivy. It has been very
uncomfortable. The downturn in the economy has certainly had an effect on most of us. Whatever we have to do to avoid a deep depression, we just have to do, no matter what.
