I can’t believe I almost forgot
to tell you all that we had our Thanksgiving dinner in the dining room. Yes that dining room.Dan put the final coat of finish on just in time. Not bad, eh? For allyou wood geeks out there, my husband tells me that this is variablewidth, face-nailed, wide pine flooring sealed with a tung oil finish.All I know is that I like it. And since I love the beams, I’ll sharethose too. They’re rafter beams from a 150 year old barn that oncestood in Tamworth, NH. Dan spent one summer about 8 years agodismantling it all by himself. And I thought all those long hot days Ispent alone with babies by the kiddie pool would never pay off for me!
Oh, and dinner was lovely. I am so grateful for family members thatare our closest friends too. And (because my email tells me you care) Istuffed the turkey with pre-heated stuffing, I used a meat thermometerto ensure safety from food-borne bacteria, and I cooked somemore stuffing alongside the bird in a casserole dish. I mixed bothtogether afterwards and all was well. Maybe even delicious.
