This month is going by too fast. Veteran's day has passed. Basketball season has started. Utah Football only have 2 games left. All of the pumpkins have rotted and are in the garbage. People are putting up Christmas lights.
Ok, so I put up our Christmas lights last Saturday, November 10.
What? why so early?
I learned at a very early age to show respect for the local weatherman. I think there is a hidden shrine somewhere at my parents house for Bob Welty and Mark Eubank where my dad pays homage to the past Meteorologists from KSL. I am pretty sure that dad shed a tear last year when Mark Eubank retired from KSL.
Anyway, when Kevin Eubank said last week on the weather report that it would rain/snow on Sunday and that Saturday would be a good day to get the lights up early, I took heed to his comments and made the arrangements - especially since we never got the outdoor lights up last year on our new house.
Let me just say that hanging out over a roof, 30 feet above the ground was interesting. I think my wife was convinced I would fall. I guess that is why she kept telling the kids to get back away from the house - she didn't want me to squish them when I fell.
Sorry - no falls from the roof. But it was a nice day to be on the roof.
On Sunday we had Stake Conference and when the choir started to sing, I noticed that the same Kevin Eubank was in the choir (he lives in our LDS Stake). I think he had a slight grin on his face knowing that it was raining outside. I almost ran up to tell him that I listened to his advice and put up my Christmas lights.
Ok, so it still hasn't snowed and the weathere has been almost as nice this week as it was last week.
So back to turkey time.
We are doing a Thanksgiving luncheon tomorrow at work and I am bringing a turkey. I rubbed it down with spices last night and I will load it with rosemary and garlic tomorrow morning and put it in the roaster at work. I am sure I will be able to smell turkey all morning long. Luckily there is a great song that you can sing while getting the turkey ready:
