Getting chilly there at night I’m guessing
Made any soups on wood stove?
I made up creamed chicken on mashed potatoes today. The gravy garlic roux base and milk and chicken bullion. Potatoes also with garlic and several fine shred cheeses
Jeff and two kitties enjoyed it. I had a salad and mashed potatoes
Ran 3 hours of errands this morning. Home Depot, Walmart, farm market etc
More new medical problems for your family. Sorry to hear. Seems they keep piling on
I hope you’re healing with minimal pain. You said you would be taking a break fro posting for the time being.
Thinking of you ♥️
Tried streaming Trump in California on back deck. No luck
Your last day with kitties
I’m hoping you’ll keep Winter
Well, yes. But malaria is easily dealt with.
Also, it means more time in bed which means more time to focus on my NaNoWriMo prep.
I haven’t fired up the wood stove to cook so far.
It goes down into the low 40s at night, but the
house is comfy at about 68 at bed time.
The furnace is set @ 66, and for now, it’s real nice.
I’m probably going to cook on the wood stove more when the snow flies
and then it gets REALLY cold!
Have you guys seen this??

Our absentee ballots were in the mailbox.
Our absentee ballots were in the mailbox. (It just sounded so good I had to repeat it.)
Anyway, Grandma and I are going to sit down tomorrow evening to a nice elk steak/twice-baked potatoes/salad with our fresh-picked cherry tomatoes plus some wine for her and beer for me.
Dessert will be some Wilcoxson's Vanilla ice cream with Huckleberry topping.
After all that is done, the dishes are picked up and we get the dogs settled down, we are going to fill out those ballots and sign 'em so I can take 'em downtown and drop 'em off at the County Clerk's office.
Done and done.
Short rally tonight!
I missed the beginning of it-
hubby came in and reminded me.
Maybe that’s why it seemed shorter!
Great! Proud of you.
It took a long time for Pres. Trump to leave the stage. I was totally worried. I wasn’t as concerned about his safety in North Korea as I am when he is speaking at open air rallies.
Just read this from a story in The Daily Mail UK:
Harris, Bender wrote, “keeps answering the question she wants, not the one that was asked”
Doesn’t that sound exactly like what she does??
Apparently, dems are worried, and they ought to be!
