Giving Thanks

Journey equals giving one’s husband a trip of a lifetime, a trip home. It’s been a year and we’ll get to see up to 60 family members at Nanny’s and cook for at least ten at home.

First year I visited, before we wed, I got the Spanish Inquisition from his mother for five days, his Nanny for 45 minutes. Also his Dad who saw me in the car and told his eldest son “When are you going to ask her? It’s OK with me.”

It’s been 12 years now and I’m just a wife. Yes, we prep, cook, clean, put dishes away and do it all over again with paper plates. I’m making at least five dishes this year, even though I’m transient. When folks get used to stuff you’ve got to bring it! I’m changing up my cashew and almond mix making it more Texan , and my boursin will be tastier. More later.

Every year I give thanks for both my families, as they are who make me, me. Much love to my husband and dog, we will leave her but she will have the best care possible, at home. Happy Thanksgiving! Dee

Sentimental Journey

Song just popped into my head, Gonna take a sentimental journey, gonna set my heart at ease….

scratch…………………….

Then a PIB tried to put a key in our door at nearly 11:00 p.m. Yes, they’re People In Black, those assistants who come here for Sundance and catch us regular folks and their dogs in pj’s. Well, not the dog. She always wears fur and looks great in it, in my humble opinion as I bathe her every week and groom her, too.

So it messed up my mental song. and we have an early day tomorrow. Now I have to get used to my old LED lamp over the computer that husband Jim set up tonight. It’s weird. I used to love it 1,500 miles away but he’s had it at the office for years, and I’ll get used to it again soon.

Going on a sentimental journey, sentimental journey home. Dee
