Old pocket Venus, married almost 50 years. Democrat, chocolate freak, British tv and writers, gardening, secret optimist, champion complainer. Leaving the bird. A dear friend’s profile, now passed, was one word. Bitter. Adding that in her honor.

First thing every morning while I make breakfast, Jingle Bell Rock. Bobby Helms. Try it, it’ll make you feel better. 😊

Took a slow, wobbly walk in the dark last evening. Warm, high yesterday was 80 degrees. Met a woman whose English was lacking and I’m a monoglot but we had a nice time looking at light displays. She had the teeniest papillon, gave thought to grabbing and running but I can’t run. Dammit. 😂

Wanted a pic with husband for first Thanksgiving ant this house, our 51st together. Nope. Tried to take a selfie with Ellie, she was kind of a jerk but played along.

Figured out what happened to my always perfect pie. Had to cut and eat a piece to find out. It’s been a few years since we’ve done thanksgiving, I’m a lot weaker and less coordinated so employing workarounds one being transferring filling to 8 cup Pyrex. Poured in too fast. Created a big air bubble.

Noticed yet another weird new anomaly in fat distribution this morning. Moved from one spot to another.

Neighbor I’d never met stopped me out front yesterday, complimented on the house, asked if we had family coming for Thanksgiving. I said no, they were all dead and we were finally free.
I need to stop saying things like that, especially to strangers.
I’m sorry though, in our case it’s true.

While I made breakfast Ellie found a new obsession, the foil the poinsettia pot sits in. No worries, she couldn’t care less about the plant. Had to fight her to release it, she then happily ate breakfast, sadly barfed it all up, needed to be hand fed broths to settle…I had cold coffee and toast.

Does one have their usual toast for breakfast when they’re planning to overdose on stuffing? Space must be reserved.

On this Thanksgiving day I’m grateful to have already decorated for Christmas.

Well, it’s time. She’s had a little breakfast and will spend most of the day under the bed. Wish I could do same.

We make a delicious dressing we call green stuffing because of so many fresh herbs. Company that made the perfect dense bread out of business. Found these. Cut into small squares. Traders. Perfect texture. Pleased.

Looked online. Coil replacement 4-8 hours. In the attic, via our closet. AND 78 degrees, no air con. I can’t do this.

First time ever my pumpkin pie doesn't look perfect and I neglected to make crust cookies which would have prettied it up. Must have used a convection setting, looks like the filling got blown. Oven has a regular bake but also 3 different convections. Technology. Sigh.

My experience with Ruffed Grouse is that unlike their “heart attack bird” cousins, the Sharp-tailed Grouse, they just walk around like they own the place (which they do) #birds 🌿

Did the shopping out there with the rest of the world. Got a call coming in the door. 3 hours. It was good though. Way behind on the putting away, desperate for food, finally in bed with dinner, Ellie and her chicken. Before I could take a single bite, giant barf. Because I talked on the phone.
