Hard to believe 2025 is nearing to an end!
We are hosting Thanksgiving this year. Manny did the cleaning and I'm doing the cooking. Planned ahead so potatoes, stuffing, and sides just need to be popped into the oven. To make it easier I bought smoked ham and turkey so they just need to be warmed up. Also decided to play the white elephant game to add some fun to the event.
I've been feeding the neighborhood stray cat but have noticed the food is gone in the morning. Caught a raccoon a few times digging into the kibble so knew it was him. Stopped filling up the dish at night to avoid his plundering. Last night came outside and looked up to see Mr. Raccoon and his girl peering down at me from on top of the roof! They were definitely begging for food! That's the first time I've ever seen one of those varmits on top of a roof.
Have been spending my free time drawing Wizard of Oz characters on 4x4 mini canvas. Not sure what I'll do with them but sure is relaxing.
Surprised Manny this week with some Portugese food for Thanksgiving. Ran across shopportugese.com and purchased sweet bread, fava beans, linguicia, sardines, and custard tarts. He was very surprised and in heaven!
Picked up some brand new timer lighted glass balls for $7.99 from Goodwill. Turns out they are worth $75! Set them in my flower box.
Jordan gave me a nautical lantern and I turned it into a lighted display.
Have also been on a big kick with creating beach lighted displays. Me thinks it's time to refrain as there is only so much table space available!
Recent awesome sky display with incredible colors.
Enjoy your holiday weekend everyone!!
