French onion soup in a loaf! My freshly made #sourdough onion-garlic scape #bread. It smells exactly like French onion soup, and will taste equally well with a slice of Gruyere or Emmental cheese melted on top. Can't wait to dig in! #homemade #foodie

Scored a signed hardcover copy of the last book in a series by one of my favorite authors at Half Price books! Especially sweet since I wanted to go to this signing but was out of town the one time she actually came here. #CatrionaMcPherson #DandyGilver #UKMysteries #HardcoverBooks

Ravensburger's 1993 puzzle "Men Walk on the Moon". I bought this one new and carried it around from house to house, State to State, through many moves and finally opened it and put it together this week! It was a lovely experience and I should've done it sooner. #Nasa #Ravensburger #Puzzles #Moon

41 years is a long time to have the privilege of a pet's companionship. No matter what type of pet, they embed themselves into your life and now you no longer have that interaction in your day. RIP Rascal, Timneh African Grey Parrot, passed away peacefully in his sleep after more than 40 years.

Newly sewn e-Reader cases! One for my spouse's new Kobo Libra Color, one for my new Kobo Clara Color, and one for my old black & white Kobo Clara HD with its newly replaced 32GB SD memory card. Thus the #DoctorWho fabric because it's now bigger on the inside! :)

Anyone else doing a #jigsawpuzzles Advent Calendar? I'm just 4 days in and I'm already in love with #Eurographics hot-swappable Christmas village! What'll it be today? Roof? Building-front? Or family fun scene? By Christmas we'll have made an entire village!
