Happy Turkey Day Eve American friends 😀   I don’t know about where you live, but it’s getting downright frigid here.  Overnight low tonight of 5 degrees! Eeek!  The high on Thanksgiving is supposed to be 19 degrees, which might put the kibosh on our usual post dinner family walk.

Today was Wednesday bagel day. It was pretty chilly out, but we walked downtown anyway. Gotta get in exercise when you can.  The hot coffee was really good after that walk!

On Monday this week the Chapman volunteers came in to decorate the house for the holidays.

It’s pretty subtle decorating, but it still takes a while. The museum now is more interactive rather than just the house that it used to be. There are themed rooms and people share their experiences with music or school or family life.

Those cats are holding a Christmas pudding on a platter. It made me giggle hanging it up. I want one.

The main room, which is all about how families decorated in different times. All of this was getting changed out to be more for the holidays.

.My festive input:

It’s definitely something different for the museum. It helps bring people in because once you have toured a period house, how many times will you go back? With the displays changing now and being interactive, it is a new draw for a new audience.

People leaving notes of their favorite songs:

John is baking a pie tonight and I have cranberry sauce to make. Dinner is at my sister’s house as per usual. Time for food, fun and games.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Stay safe and eat lots of pie.
