After Thanksgiving... howdy t' fans

Stella here.
Ain't this just been th' ODDEST kinda weather?!
Felt more like late Fall or early Spring th' last couple days!
Harvey said he's gonna shed his longjohns if it keeps up.

Me an' Molly Eldredge went off on a "toot" yest'day once th' rain cleared out. Drove down t' see Jeannie an' her husband an' took 'em some o' th' last o' th' turkey soup I made. 'Twas good t' fin'lly see th' last o' that bird! I was beginnin' t' think we'd be eatin' turkey f'r New Years!!
'Course, wouldn't y' know... I sent Harvey off t' th' IGA t' get some butter an' he come back with... I couldn't b'lieve my eyes... another turkey! Said 'twas so cheap (it bein' after Thanksgivin' an' they was practic'lly GIVIN' 'em away) he said he thought I'd like t' have one f'r Christmas.
I will never send that man t' th' store alone again, I swear!

So now I got it stashed in Molly's freezer. Bless-ed thing's big enough t' dress up in a Santa suit an' set up in a chair at th' table!
Sometimes I purely long f'r th' days when all we had was whatever catch Harvey brought in off th' Betsy Ann!
Shouldn't grumble, though. Plenty o' folks ain't got enough t' eat as 'tis. We're mighty lucky.

*** Now HERE's somethin'! We had a note on th' blog from an "Anonymous" fan a couple days ago. Weren't Harvey some tickled! 'Twas addressed t' him an' said he'd (she'd?) liked what Harvey wrote about Thanksgivin'.
Funny... mister man (H.) was gripin' - in a low-key kinda way - about me runnin' him outta th' kitchen while I was tryin' t' get supper t'gether. He don't write often an' he don't write much.
Guess y' never know what's gonna catch somebody's fancy!
Anyways, here's a howdy t' that fan, an' also t' th' fella/gal named Sylver who wrote us back a couple weeks ago about Pete Seeger.
Truth be told, me an' Harvey's both tickled t' hear from folks! When we started this blog - kinda on a dare from th' girls after Jeannie gave me this laptop - I never ex-pected anybody'd actually read it... 'cept maybe Pat G an' Jeannie an' Deb, but they don't count cuz they know us already.

So now it's Friday an' I'm startin' t' think about Christmas. Moose Cove had its big holiday parade a week ago, an' th' stores're stayin' open late on th' weekends. No "big box" stores here, thank goodness, just th' downtown merchants tryin' t' keep their heads above water durin' tough times.
Next time I write I'll try t' remember t' tell ya about Christmas in Moose Cove.
That's it f'r now.
Love,
Stella
