Mornin' All!

Haven't checked in for a few days... felling punk and I think it's psychological... not facing the fact that winter must come, it must get dark at 4:30 and I must bring out the hats and mittens soon. So I sleep. And nap. And play computer games.

I have made my nontraditional T-giving plans. We do it on Saturday so there's never a fight for our kids about "we went to your folks last year" etc. SO... it must be non-turkey and we usually have a theme... one year Italian (Thanks-a-giving), another year it's a fish fry (FishFeasting Day, one year Thai (of course, ThaiGiving). So this year it's to be Lobsters, drawn butter (buddah, actually, in these parts of the world) Herb roasted Potatoes spears and Garlic Parmesan Zucchini sticks. Lemon Sorbet and Ginger crisps for dessert. THe nominated names for this whack day are The Feast of The Sea Roaches, ShellCracking Day, and Butterfingersucking Day. I think I'll stick with calling it Saturday. And it's fun that I can set the table with paper platters, plastic tablecloth, etc. And a load of napkins. A lot of trash beats a lot of dishes/pans to clean any old day. I'll give thanks that the dump is open Sunday so DH can take all the remnants. Can you imagine what 16 lobster shells smell like the day after? I'll have every critter in the nation in my yard!!!

I try to watch every debate on both sides but last night was tedious. I switched to reruns of Homefires on Masterpiece Theatre. Love that show (PBS)

@Gail
I think you're gorgeous! From what I understand, your hair may come in thicker and a different color. Be ready for a surprise! Congrats on ditching the scarves and turbans. Must be incredibly freeing. I recently gave away every darned pair of high heels in my closet and attic. There is no reason why a 68 yr old woman should be uncomfortable on purpose!!! Sandals are my go-to dress shoes now! Winter or Summer. And if I can avoid dress-up occasions, I do. Been there. Done that. Got the hammertoes and bunions!!! In fact, I'm going to theater Sat. night (will record that debate!) and I'm wearing tennis shoes, elastic waist pants and a big ole Patriots t-shirt. 10 years ago it would have been a dress, heels, and a flimsy dress jacket. That's history,

@Julie, sorry about your gran. I guess it was time for her to rest. So soon, though.. another loss. Life is rough sometimes.

Waiting for the stinking rain to stop so I can walk. Meanwhile, HAPPY VETERANS DAY to all who served including my DH, DB, DB, DS, and my late DB. Thank you for serving!
