What's Up Wednesday! {11/23}

We are linking up with  Mel ,  Shay  and  Sheaffer  for this month's edition of What's Up Wednesday! What We're Eating This Week: T-We are eating wonderful Thanksgiving food like many others out there!  This year is the first time in 14 years of marriage that we are not traveling somewhere for Thanksgiving, so I am doing all of the cooking.  I am actually really excited about it because I can make things just the way we like them.  I also bought a turkey breast this year since there is only 4 of us, and I am going to cook it in my slow cooker.  I found a new recipe online.  I promise to post the recipe if it turns out well! S- Ditto to Trina! We are hosting a smaller Thanksgiving this year and we will be eating the traditional stuff.  Turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, sweet potato  casserole, green bean casserole and of course, dessert! I will be making pumpkin pie and apple pie.  But also... If you haven't tried these little stars from the heavens

Favorite #2 My family and I visited my grandfather on Sunday at his home in southern Virginia.  It was a wonderful, much needed break from our busy routine!  Here is a view from his house: We talked, played corn hole, ate a lot of great food, and played with 2 beagles.  What could be better?! It was a great day! Favorite #3 I am only 5'3", so finding pants that are the correct length is always a challenge.  Often, the petite length sizes are too short and the regular length sizes are too long.  I finally found great pants for work th
