Hello everyone, Eric and I finally connected, so now I back on the blog. Anne

In what surely is a sign that the "stars" are aligned, Ellen had a magical occurrence with the gravy the other night. Here is a photo. This occurred on it's own without stirring. Glad you all had a great Thanksgiving. We missed you. See you at Christmas.
