where oh where has melissa gone

I haven't run away.... although it has been rather tempting...just busy. Not a good busy, not a bad busy... just busy....needless to say, I haven't cooked much (not good for the waist line...)

The daughter has been fighting strep throat, a virus, and has a cheerleading competition coming up. The son has had yearbook club and a birthday coming up. The hubbie... has been enjoying our beautiful fall weather - which means that people want to play golf. So he has been working...

I started volunteering at our church office two mornings a week which has turned into 3 days a week. I think I finally have things figured out and can get serious about keeping it to two mornings a week...

That's it in a nutshell.... just busy... but I do need to start thinking about Thanksgiving... which I have a wonderful dry brine recipe for turkey....I will post that soon!

For now, just know I haven't fallen off the face of the earth...
