[Shell]

Our weather this week was fabulous. Daughter and her friend were here from Nebraska! I was so happy we had sunshine and warmth for their vacation 

[crazybabyborg]

As to my 1st Thanksgiving in my new home...my kiddos helped with stuffing, and all side dishes. It was a breeze preparing. It still took me 2 days to clean it all up. (they all scattered afterwards...gotta love it!)

I'm so glad you said that! My dining room STILL isn't totally clean! They all came again today for LEFTOVERS!   

[Shell]

Heyyyyy, weeeee, I see people!!!!

  Hi Shell, how was your first Turkey Day in your new home?

In that DREAM of a kitchen!! Do tell, Shell!!!   

I spent half the time looking for where things were

Yes, they had a swim every morning and the spa to end the night. I have not been in the pool yet! Too cold for my bones.

Would it be really wrong to steal an angel?  Something about that sounds pretty ominous to me!

[Deenie]

Nope Green Eyes I have not due to .. The rug simply does not make the room itself. Its now stationary to keep the plank floor underneath.  And just " yesterday" Deenie ate another hole in it.

I found this rug online (about a week ago) and I am so unsure. I want to buy it. Its a fair price. I am in quandary.

This is what happens when you create a room such as a kitchen/dining area so " unusual in color scheme) Nothing matches that is sold in stores ... arrrrh. Maybe GreenEyes you can look at this rug and tell me what you think of it.  My floors are Wenge. Almost black planks - with a root beer grain - No true brown. Its a cola brown/root beer grain. berry tones within the plank floor.

which by the way I hate my Paint color - the Red - OH how I hate it and want to change it.
Its just too much RED. Its actually not red its the deepest raspberry or even Radish.

I want to repaint the room soo badly. Too dark

OMG sounds like you guys had a great time.

I had one Bubba and a Shar Pei. I'd match the drool from one "Bubba" against any 5 dogs you have any day!   

Here's Bubba:

Deenie? With that rug, there's a lot of colors to jump off from, even if you do repaint the room.

I have to share a funny Thanksgiving Story (( related to Doggy's))

My Mother lives in Condo's that ever other one is exactly alike in exterior not color scheme. She lives in the middle of nowhere off a long country road.

was Weds night she heard "scratching at her front door" so she opened the door to find this Lost Dog .. who was defiant " let me in"..  so she let him in. or Her. A small old dog, very sweet an loving. The dog went through the lower level walked around, went into her kitchen, sniffed her cats.. and ate the cats food. Said I want to leave now. Went to the front door as I am ready to go. .. My Mom was like  What do I do. The Dog really wanted out and to leave.

The dog had no collar was not underfed nor appeared in ill health - so she let him/her out.
Next Night Thurs Same thing

A Dog comes to her Door was scratching - I want in - Was not the Same Dog. Yet was an Old Dog very Sweet and Nice. Came in did the once around. Met the cats and ate their food and wanted out.  Well this dog had a Collar on and had a phone number. My Mom called the Number and it was a cell phone. It rang to the neighbor 2 doors down - Who had OUT of Town guests staying ( that had 3 old dogs with Her) she had let them out .. and allowed them to wander * shame on her. 

All the Dogs found their way back and are Safe.
But My Mother was thinking  - UM What am I the Doggy Howard Johnson's ??

I like all the colors in the rug. You shold be able to come up with one of them in a lighter shade to repaint your kitchen when you get around to it. With your black floor in the kitchen and dark wood in the rest I can see where the red color would feel so dark.

A Bull Mastiff, a big sweetie from what I hear. Emphasis on BIG.

They are truly a 180 pound lap dog. They don't want to just be with you, they want to be ON you!  Bubba's my son's dog, but he takes him everywhere, including work and my house for Thanksgiving! Bubba's almost as tall as I am when he's got his front paws on the kitchen counters trying to eat the turkey that just came out of the oven. If that sounds like the voice of experience, it's because it is.
