Church on Sunday and I thought of all of our discussions about jeans. Our early church service is very low key. Jeans are common. But…a person wore a pair with lots of holes…and I thought about our discussions and quickly remembered it didn’t matter in this case…it didn’t matter.

We need a picture or two of these ‘table top’ tops @Victoria2.

So glad you had a grand time! Thanks for the review.

I received the email and looked at all the material with interest, but I fear most of the items will be in sizes I can no longer wear. 😉 There were some fashions best left in the past (remember the white track suit with the bright pink splashes and elastic around the ankles that were made of unbreathable material).

@Lanky Lad Did you get enough to have some fun with it?

@ronpes I’m so glad you didn’t fall. I lived in an area for several years that frequently received freezing rain and I learned to just not go out. Hauling all of that feed sounds like a lot of work. I hope it warms up and melts soon.

Another book I love, The Boys in the Boat, is coming out in a few weeks as a movie. I hope they do it justice.

Yeah!!!!

@Bigmike911 Glad to hear there was no damage to your floor, the SubZero is covered by insurance, and a new dishwasher is on the way. We got the tree up this weekend, but the mantel still needs to be done. Tomorrow is the annual Swedish Breakfast at church. I will cook Swedish pancakes from 6:00 - 12:30, two pans at a time. Proceeds go to charities. It is suppose to pour down rain for several days but at least it isn’t snow. Everyone have a good weekend.

As I scrolled through the pictures I recognized several outfits from my past. Some are best left in the past. 🤭

I also didn’t add the champagne glasses used prior to dinner which definitely have stems. Poor DH gets wrinkly hands from all the washing. 😞

We have stemless glasses for everyday wine, but at dinner use the stems. The Irish crystal hasn’t been out of the china cabinet for several years! We usually serve two different wines during a dinner party, so 6 people means 12 glasses to wash by hand. DH washes and I dry. We ran the dishwasher 3 times on Thanksgiving. I hope you didn’t have floor damage due to the dishwasher mishap @Bigmike911.

Love the vote with your cigarettes - Raclette or Fondue box.

We’re celebrating Thanksgiving today, Friday, so everyone could be together. The oven is heating, the bird has been brined and is ready to go in. I’m about to make the deviled eggs. The beans are ready to be dropped, the carrots are ready for a glaze, the horseradish cranberry sauce is ready to go. The only thing left is making the dressing, not stuffing, with dried cranberries and porcini and trumpet mushrooms. Oh, I can’t forget the chocolate mousse! And of course, DH makes the buttery sinful mashed potatoes! Seahawks lost miserably last night so we’re ready for the two local rivalries, Washington State vs. U. Of Wash. and Oregon St. vs. U of Oregon. DH has Dr. and teaches at U.W, daughter in law graduated from WSU, and our son is U of O, the ducks, graduate. It will be an exciting afternoon! Everyone have a fun Black Friday.

@exlondoner I’m trying to find the article on-line. Do you remember the month it was published? Thanks.

Our Cunard magazine arrived yesterday, Wednesday. It took 2 additional days.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

We can never get the blasted machines to work. I take my own instant bags which are better than what the machine makes.

Looking forward to your thoughts and your next adventure. Happy Thanksgiving, I hope the turkey isn’t dry, the gravy isn’t lumpy and the pie is better than the cakes!

That is really gross! I hope you’re wrong and it didn’t go into the water.

Water nest?

I sure hope the late night snacks were worth that long wait!

Hasn’t made it to Seattle yet. Let’s see how many days it takes for it to travel west.

@tacticalbanjo I am thrilled you are getting to share this voyage with your toddler. I can just see him/her climbing up onto the chair and commenting on the sea going by…and dinner…oh my what memories you are making! Thanks for sharing your family with us.

Thank you @gumshoe958!
