Good Sunday morning from me and the backyard critters. The squirrels know to peer into the patio door to let me know it’s time for breakfast. The often quarrelsome Western scrub jays and Steller’s declare a truce to share the sunflower seeds. #pnw

We’re having lunch at Efeste Winery in Woodinville. I’m having Yiayia’s meatballs — so good! Yiayia is the owner, Eleni, who sat with us and chatted all about her family that has operated this winery for 25 years. You must visit! #pnw

Good morning from the beautiful #pnw! We’re driving through Tacoma on the way to Woodinville to taste some wine, because apparently we didn’t have enough yesterday.

The Cran-Orange Whiskey Sour is served, and the turkey butter awaits my sister’s Parkerhouse rolls. Bring on the bird and sides! Happy #Thanksgiving! #pnw

The cranberry sauce is done! It’s decorated with some thyme I grow. My other contributions to #Thanksgiving at my sister’s are a batch cocktail for 10 and a Costco pumpkin pie I picked up yesterday. I’m also bringing little turkey-shaped butter sculptures from Winco. #pnw

I took the mister out for a belated birthday dinner to a West Seattle Thai restaurant we like, Bang Bar. He got a hibiscus mai tai and a whole fish, head and all. I told him the eyeballs are considered a delicacy, but he wasn’t interested. 😀

Driving home in the dark tonight, I saw LOTS of houses with Christmas lights up. Thanksgiving is still a week away!

I don’t know know about you, but “Extreme fear” doesn’t sound good to me. 😳

The weather’s crappy today, so I’m walking at the mall. I notice that the current women’s shirt style seems to be short in front, long in back. Are we just supposed to give up trying to hide our tummies? To hell with that!

Love it! We were there last month. Here’s a favorite shot.

Two of the hobbit holes are completely furnished and open for the tour. The rest are just exteriors. Here are some interior shots I took.

For #MagentaMonday, here’s one of my favorite trees in the neighborhood: a glorious red maple. It still looks great even though it’s already shed a lot of leaves. The beleaguered homeowner is at bottom right, doing his best to stay on top of the onslaught. #pnw #lakewood

A year ago today the mister and I were visiting Hobbiton near Matamata, NZ (Aotearoa), part of an 18-day trip of a lifetime. It was a trip made possible only by an inheritance from my mom. We toasted her many times on that trip! ❤️
