This week is going to be busy- getting ready for Thanksgiving.
Today I made 2 no bake pies; 1.) Peanut Butter pie and 2.) A triple layer Chocolate Pudding Pie and I also made homemade rolls.
Tomorrow I'm going to focus on cleaning the house and do some more prep work on Wednesday so it's less i have to do on Thursday even though my boyfriend is going to be here to help me out with the dinner which consists of the following; ham, regular mashed potatoes, candied yams (made from fresh sweet potatoes), deviled eggs, homemade gravy, cranberry sauce and homemade rolls then for dessert it's those two pies I mentioned earlier.

I did a cheap version- peanut butter, marshmallow fluff and a ready made Graham Cracker crust.
When my boyfriend got home he got me a couple chocolate Graham Cracker crust so I made another Peanut Butter pie and put a chocolate topping on it so it resembles a peanut butter cup. He also asked for a cherry cheesecake and a pumpkin pie.

There's still a lot left.
If anyone is out shopping on this black Friday I pray that you remain safe.

Unless you are walking through the woods with someone who is being very very loud. Sure, there's been a bear that was spotted near this area and yes, I wouldn't want to encounter a bear but that doesn't mean you can't enjoy the walk either.

Or like me the other day, walking along until someone fired a gun nearby! lol We didn't see the shooter, who was unaware of our presence, so we turned around and got out of there quick! It was a lovely walk though.

Here people are in the woods hunting all the time. There are a lot of wild pigs, deer, bobcat, bear, and of course raccoons, opossums in the woods. You hear shooting all the time. We posted our land because people we didn't know would come and fish in our ponds. They don't even knock on the door to tell us they are here. My grandson (8) will go down and talk to strangers because he thinks since they are in our place they must be alright! I can't convince him to stay away and tell us people are here. We finally put up posted signs and they tore one down.
