    Kelly - I hope you enjoyed that well deserved wine.

    Barbie - thank you. I enjoyed it. I have some more to work on but I put everything away tonight so I could clean ready to decorate on the weekend.
    I don’t know if I could handle jury duty and making a decision that affects someone’s life. It would be interesting though.

    Karen - love the dinner roll layout.

    Lisa - I just read up on ulcerative colitis, a friend of mine was just diagnosed with that as well.

    Beth - my Grandchildren love that Nailed it show.

    Michele - you should be able to find zip ties there. Maybe it’s a different name.
    This is only acrylic paints that I used. It wasn’t at ceramics that I did this.

    Not much to say it’s late.

    Just about! :)

    Except it was usually Lipton Cup o' Noodles instead of Campbell's Soup.
    Also we were given coca cola in addition to ginger ale.

    I still reach for those things when I'm not feeling well.

    And if someone tries to give me something else (like, say, toast), I regard them with a great deal of suspicion!

    Had a lovely 'Full English' breakfast, plus a little orange juice and yoghurt and walnuts. Oouuff! :p Pot of tea.
    The sun is shining.
    My walk to the station is through the oldest part of town, the Castle, the Robin Hood statue, the Trip to Jerusalem Inn, built into the Castle rock. :D Then along the coobled footpath next to the canal.
    Leaving in around 20 mins.

    My sleep could have been better, too much booze, but I feel happy and refreshed.

    I have a French series downloaded onto my phone to watch on the train to London.

    Definitely worth the effort to come up.

    Love Heather UK xxxxxxxx

    November: leaner/stronger/kinder than October.
    Accountability:
    Chose well: BP, dogs to powerline, made up 11/17 T'ai Chi, dog group.
    Bonus: made sausage dressing, pickled beets, Freddie’s for Wonder Bread.
    Just one thing:
    25: Use one of your strengths in a new or creative way. Think it’s the “new” that I’m struggling with. I LIKE my ruts ;)

    So, Annie, writing it out last night did give me pip’s boot-in-butt, got me dancing and marching in place to make step goals. Thanks!

    This morning fired up the Jane Golden T’ai Chi video. Wow. Almost looks like filmed in slow motion, but the bird chirps tell me it’s real time. Feels like starting over. This will be a real workout.

    Lisa “… goofy as a three-toed tree frog” Just :love: your expressions! “…turkey sandwich on white bread with (only Best Foods) mayonnaise…” Stopped into Freddie’s to get some white bread and was delighted to find Wonder Bread. A once a year indulgence. :naughty:
    Machka stunning pics. What kind of critter is that?
    Kelly, not only can you do this, you’ll do it splendidly… and earn that wine ;)
    Heather what Lisa said about trains in Britain. Overnight from Brighton to Inverness, one of my fondest memories. Great pub pic, your smiles say it all. Brava for going, safe travels home to J.
    Barbie whew! I was surprised they even tried to seat a jury Thanksgiving week.
    Allie so sad about Ruth’s house.
    Carla in MN, Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.
    Karen Wow! A pull apart dinner roll Turkey. “Great Harvest made it” Brilliant! If I tried to make something like that, I wouldn’t nail it, I’d flubbit.
    Beth too much at once? Hope those pains ease enough for you to enjoy Thanksgiving.
    Annie I log my cheat days as completely as I can. Usually they’re not as bad as I fear…
    Pip that still looks awful. Poor Yogi!
    Terri glad you have a date in the not too distant future. Healing thoughts.
    Sue would you post a pic of GS’s afghan?
    Katla happy you’ve landed. Hug and love those grands.
    Tracey I didn’t realize Beth’s “Nailed it” referred to a TV show. Thanks!
    Mary any pics of your charcuterie turkey? Charturkerie?
    Machka those cures are still true today, along with Vit C, Zicam and Pepto Bismol chewable tabs, although tea and toast do work for me ;)
    Rebecca thanks for checking in! Looking forward to Athena pics.

    Just Joe and me for Thanksgiving, so will roast a bone-in turkey breast with simple sides (roasted asparagus, baked sweet potatoes) and sausage dressing with gravy. Bought individual bread pudding at bakery, will make a little brandy sauce. Felt bad that my friend T has no Thanksgiving day plans, think she’ll be lonely. Wanted to invite her, and then didn’t for a couple of reasons. I’m ashamed of our house, the mess, dog hair, spruce needles, college dorm/hand me down furniture, rusty bathroom fixtures, walls needing paint, etc. etc. etc. Also, Joe isn’t a social diner, sits down, eats fast, get up and is gone. Final straw was T isn’t vaccinated and Joe would NOT be comfortable with her in our home. Choices and consequences, I choose to fritter my time away on things other than home care, she chooses not to be vacced.

    Thankful for you all, this day and always.

    Lighter, lovelies!

    I'm with Joe. I don't like sitting around a table. In restaurants, I'll take my last bite and then say, "OK, let's go" ... and will then usually have to wait while my husband (and others) linger over their last bite or after dinner coffee or something.

    Unfortunately, the train is stuck outside London because of a points failure in the station. Before that the journey was going well and I enjoyed my films.
    Hope the jam clears soon. :'(
    I then have to get the tube across London and get another train to Brighton.

    I've stayed with a friend in Quorn a couple times, and have visited Nottingham ... and have been to that pub in the cliff. :)

    The points jam cleared after about 20 minutes. Nearly back in Brighton now and will catch a bus. Ate a huge Sushi platter on the train. Not many people on it. :p

    :)Barbara We don't invite people to eat at our house for lots of reasons, some the same as yours. The last person who had a meal at our house with us was my morning dog walking friend who also cuts Jake's hair. She is vaccinated and comes into our house every morning. Jake wanted to do something to thank her for cutting his hair so she rode with us to the Taco Time drive through and selected her meal that he paid for and we brought our food back to the house and ate together.

    :)Tracey, one of the questions asked by one of the attorneys at jury selection was "would you have trouble judging someone?" No one said yes, but you would have had the chance to speak up. Since a jury is 12 people, it doesn't seem so judgmental to me because I'd be with others to make the decision based on a lot of evidence that we all heard together.

    :)Heather, going to Nottingham seems like an adventure into Fantasyland.

    :) My father thought soft boiled eggs on toast with Clamato juice was the meal to solve all ills.

    Some bits of Nottingham are very touristy and 'heritage', but it's just a nice, normal, working city with a University. Where my son lives is 'up and coming' and is getting more trendy by the minute. He lives with his girlfriend in a lovely enclave of very old houses that used to be an old village with a cobbler and a blacksmith. Their house is 1871, quite new! :p

    When I am sick, I like a bowl of white rice, plain boiled, with freshly ground black pepper.

    Barbara--DH doesn't have Covid anymore, what he has is side effects of Covid and the vaccine shots. Worse part is no one can tell if these is something that will get better with time or if it will get worse.

    Lisa--glad you are home resting and pray the meds heal and no more problems.

    Beth--Glad to hear you got the go ahead to do more, but baby steps. Easier said than done, I understand as I find I still have to be careful with my back.

    Heather--Happy to hear your visit is going well. Very nice picture and everyone looks for happy.

    Katla--Great news that you are at son's and getting to enjoy the grandbabies.

    Well I am working 6a-6p today. By myself so able to get somethings done. DH and DD are cooking and will go over to her house when I get off. DS and family will be there. Hope to be home early and get to bed as work the next 2 days also. So much for full staff.

    Happy Thanksgiving! Blessings, Vicki GRAND ISLAND,NE <3

    Made it to Iowa. Spent last night in Illinois. Colby's mom should be here today. Jess shared with me last night that his mother has only been here one other time and I remember that was years ago when she lived in Virginia. His mother evidently doesn't approve of the fact they live together. Think I'll text Denise and Pete happy Thanksgiving. Going over to jess' later today. There's a football game tomorrow so I understand that the hotel is booked.

    Tracey we do have ties like you described only by a different name. But how did you get the candy canes hung without putting a hole in your house?

    Welcome to the newbie (I forget your name..so sorry)

    Allie feel better fast

    Happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate

    Michele now in Iowa

    Time for my pre-event jitters. I chopped up a huge bowl of mushrooms to go in the green bean dish. They will cook down; no telling how much I will have. I bought three bags of frozen beans. I think I overdid that for seven people. I should have made a practice dish a month ago but I only found out what I was bringing the other day. Oh well, how bad can it be? The hard part is faking the cream of mushroom soup because too many of us can't have cream.

    Meanwhile, happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate!

    Limp, stringy, not crunchy. Note to self: do NOT buy frozen asparagus unless you plan to puree into cream of asparagus soup. :laugh: :sick: :laugh: hbd559ky69gl.gif
