is a recap of everything that has been going on this month…
and as always, What’s up Wednesday begins with the very important topic:
What we’re eating
Today was Thanksgiving at work – my team participated in a pot luck dinner. 
There was mac & cheese, green bean casserole, mashed potatoes, pecan pie bars, and ham.
I love ham.
It is the best part of Easter Sunday dinner.
However Thanksgiving is a time for turkey. So I made a turkey and dressing casserole.
What I’m loving
Turkey and Dressing Casserole
It is GOOD!
Turkey and Dressing Casserole
INGREDIENTS
4 to 5 cups diced turkey
1 10.75 ounce can cream of mushroom soup
1 8-ounce carton sour cream
3 cups Pepperidge Farm Herb-seasoned stuffing mix
1 cup chicken broth
½ cup (1 stick) butter, melted
DIRECTIONS
1. Preheat the oven to 350 F. Spray a 13 by 9 inch glass casserole dish with vegetable oil cooking spray
2. In a medium bowl, stir together the turkey, soup and sour cream
3. Place the mixture in the prepared dish and pat down evenly with the back of a spoon
4. In a clean medium bowl, stir together the stuffing mix, butter, and broth. Spread evenly over the turkey mixture
5. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, until the stuffing topping is browning and the casserole is hot and bubbly

This will be a great way to use your leftover turkey!

What we’ve been up to
The one thing that comes to mind is a re-focus on family. LB and I have each experienced a loss very recently. There have been two funerals.
Most recently LB’s Dad passed away.
LB has spent the last couple of years concentrating on spending time with his Dad, who has been in poor health, and went to be with Jesus on November 8th. 
Also, on the subject of family focus… I am absorbed with thoughts of Glammy-hood and how I can get to those Glam-babies. Last week Emily came to town for a family event related to a wedding and also came to spend time with her family-in-law.
Glammy got to see the babies!
What I’m looking forward to
Richard is coming to town this weekend. It made me feel special when he faced-timed me on Sunday. 
It also made me realize how much I miss him.

What I’ve been working on
There has been a lot of focus on trying to get the house back in order. Since recently painting, taking down curtains, and replacing furniture, it seems like I can’t get organized. There is stuff everywhere! With the fast-approaching holiday season, things may not be organized until 2020.

What I’m excited about
An upcoming trip to tour the Biltmore House in Asheville, North Carolina.

What I’m dreading
I’m dreading next Monday.
Although you’d never know it by the smile on my face!
What I’m wearing
These are this week’s sunrise shots in the daily parking space (my garage).

What I’m watching/reading
We have subscribed to The Walt Disney Company’s streaming service (Disney+). So far we have watched Lady and the Tramp (2019) and Lady and the Tramp (1955). The more recent of the two presented a few unappreciated deviations from the 1955 version.
But overall, it was a sweet movie.

What I’m doing this weekend
This Sunday I will host my annual Sunday Before Thanksgiving Dinner. 
It is going to be a bit different this year as LB and I attempt to remove our 60” round table and bring in temporary replacement tables to accommodate the large group.

What I’m looking forward to next month
Christmas!
Although I am nowhere close to being ready, I’m always excited when it arrives.

Thank you for taking time out of your day to stop by my blog.
