Hi Potties - Not getting a lot done, but anything is better than nothing. I made a run to the booth this afternoon to put out some odds 'n ends. Dave (who keeps the place open) said it's been a really slow month. I can believe it; made just a bit over 1/2 of the rent so far. Would love to get rid of a lot of the small stuff. After a really long time, the box of books I mentioned recently finally sold. Guess it's time to start putting another one together. Now if the afghan will sell....
Max - I'm not wild about turkey but I do like the dark meat - same with chicken. White meat just seems dry. Down here the non-turkey lovers use ham, pork roast or roast beef. Folks in Fla. used to use seafood sometimes but not sure if they still do. I had thought about Cracker Barrel but tripped over a county group that not only provides a meal but will deliver it. Gonna give it a try for this year. Also laid in frozen turkey & dressing dinner just in case. When you nearly shut your oxygen line in the oven I suspect your face resembled Irish's when the outlet was smoking & spitting. I, too, have been known to "organize" books & such in stores. Must be a gene for that in some of us. Hope all goes well with your Dr. visit. I always look forward to dropping prescriptions - it was a big deal when Bear was home 'cause it made keeping up with his meds much easier when there were fewer to deal with. Sorry I can't help with your ironstone - know nothing about it except to recognize some of it on sight.
When I got home from the booth & WM grocery shopping I finally made myself take the time to bring in the 2 ferns. They must have enjoyed their summer since they each fill the skylights where they'll spend the winter. The cats are fascinated by the "things" hanging from the ceiling (as they see it).
Is there anyway you can find a new groomer? Wonder if it ever occurred to her that her husband might have died had he not had the vaccine?
Good luck with the free ads. Our kind of stuff is hard to describe in about a dozen words or so. My green in the booth has slowed in sales recently but still moves a little. Never seem to sell the same stuff twice but it's always been that way.Gordon - I was surprised that you haven't spent time in New Zealand since it's relatively close to you. Everything I've read about it makes it sound like paradise - earthquakes be d*amned.
It was windy today while I was out but a sweatshirt kept me comfortable. I dread looking outside tomorrow. The hostas have given up the ghost & some of the more exposed impatiens. I still haven't dug up the caladium bulbs - every year I swear I'll bring them in but I never seem to get around to it. I have bulbs in the refrigerator & I'd best take advantage of the next nearly warm day & get them stuffed in the ground so they can get settled in & start putting out roots for spring.
Just fed the land sharks so guess it's about time to shut down out here & move to the bedroom & the next book in the pile. I unearthed a couple of the last Diana Gabaldon books that I somehow had missed when reading the series originally. If I plow through these 2, will be able to put them on a shelf & have a tiny bit of floor visible.
Everybody take care & try to stay warm - especially Marson. Later.
Susan
