Last Wednesday in the early afternoon a Wintery Mix of Snow and Ice came down on us around the Metro area leaving myself and many wiery of what havoc would come to travels for Thanksgiving Day. With a little blessing from Mother Nature the weather subsided and road conditions turned out wonderfully.
Wednesday night though with the Mix upon us it blanketed Minnesota into a Pretty Wonderland. I just love fresh snow. It turns the trees into glistening beauties, the fields into sparkling diamonds and warms the spirit! I ventured out that evening to Victoria's Fresh Seasons for the necessities Dr. Pepper, TP & Klondike Bars....What would you do for a Klondike Bar....Not let a snow storm stop me! :0) Then I picked up Maul Lee and came back home to create my little Pilgrim Hats made of Marshmallow, Chocolate Striped Cookies and Chocolate Morsels...If I would have known about this sooner this would not have been the first night to have about a dozen handsome Pilgrims over The Night Before Thanksgiving. ;))) We all loved them...Who could resist to Thanksgiving.
Thanksgiving Day, I rose early only full of gratitude and thankful for many, many blessings my family is fortunate for. I went to a stuffed Cycle Class at Lifetime Fitness, now I know what it would feel like to be stuffing in a turkey ; ), and the music and blood rushing was a great way to start my Thanksgiving not only was it an hour of pulsating cycling that class led into the next hour of Total Conditioning that was even more stuffed. The great Ops people of Lifetime turned two basketball courts into the stage for all of us eager fitness hounds and Jeff the Instructor turned the volume up on a heart pounding class. Whew, 2hours down. I DID IT! Hooray! :0)
Home and showered we were off to Apple Valley to Derek's parents for what turned out to be a nice relaxing afternoon visiting, looking at sales ads, snacking on herring & crackers and drinking yummy Mimosa's. After my morning workout I was ready to feast! The early dinner was wonderful. :0) Other family had came later for desserts I had one taker on my Pilgim Hat, she knows who she is, and the leftover Pilgrims came back to our house...Smart Guys! :0)
Once again a Thankful Day indeed!
