Thanksgiving Weekend

The WGSIL (World's Greatest Sister-in-law) emailed me today about how I disappoint her. Every day she visits this blog, and every day she's disappointed by it's dull and void-ed-ness. I know. Nothing. (She really needs to Click on the "Subscribe to" over there to the right---> RSS feed and then she'd be notified by e-mail about my latest posts!) But truly, nothing much has been happening in the personal life. Unless you want to hear about the continuous hacking cough left over from a cold, or how I'm trying to get used to wearing contacts but the prescriptions aren't right, or I can't (eeww, eeww, eeww!) touch them to my eyeball! And who wants to read about all that? Not me!
So on the homefront, Fud is the only one who's had some interesting happenings here at Twin Lakes. He made friends with Carly, a dog two doors down. Carly's not real sure what Fud is, exactly. She knows dogs hate cats, and vice versa, but Fud's such a friendly little guy. . .
At least we got to Anjee and Jim's for Thanksgiving! That was really fun, and after we stuffed ourselves (good-bye diet, hello fat pants), the girls and I giggled through DVD's of a Canadian sitcom called "Corner Gas."
Then, see the package on the table? That's the 2010 Family Fun Box! Your's will be arriving soon, Tammy! The theme this year is "Going Global." And you can check the pics here for clues but I really don't want to tell you what Jessica was putting in her mouth and how much she got paid to eat it!
It's after midnight now, so I hope Tammy's satisfied with this effort I'm making! She should get on Facebook and keep tabs on the rest of the family, too! Spread the guilt and nagging around!
But I appreciate her e-mailing me. It's nice to know someone actually reads this! I LOVE YOU TAMMY!
WRITING UPDATE: Would you believe I've made some progress lately? I really have! Going to the widows conference in Knoxville the first part of November was a good shot in the arm. Your prayers are, too! And sleep is also important. So I'm going to go do that now.

Is your middle name Oprah? Could it be a trip around the world? I can't wait to find out! I appreciate your effort so late at night. You did a great job and yes I am interested in reading about other people that can't see. I have been having the same problem. - Tammy

Dear Tammy Anonymous, What? You don't sleep either between the hours of midnight and six-thirty?
No wonder we can't see anything, we can hardly keep our eyes open. But I still love you and FF2010 is better than anything Oprah could cook up. :)

Outdoor Visitors

Tom was burning some brush at the back of our lot early this evening. I walked back there to talk to him, and lo and behold---a big wild turkey came walking out of the woods on the lot across from us! I thought maybe he smelled the smoke and decided to check it out. And he didn't seem in too much of a hurry, but he picked up the pace when he saw us. A minute later, we saw some more movement where the turkey was, and a coyote peered over at us. He turned around after eyeballing us. I think maybe he was following that meaty looking turkey. I never know what I'll see out here!   And this little thing was inside the screened-in porch today. The green anole made it out alive yesterday, so I guess word is out---Fud isn't a threat! Those are NOT my fingers in the picture.

Jennifer Lawrence interview on David Letterman HD - November 20, 2013 I've never been a fan of a real-life movie star (Bambi isn't real). But after watching this interview last night I just might! This girl's hilarious!

New Pets

My garden failed in everything except a pot of parsley. Last week I noticed tiny green beads stuck to the parsley leaves, and a few days later some small black caterpillars, and now.... PETS! Yep. Pet caterpillars. Not Monarchs, though. They kind of look like the Monarch butterfly caterpillar, but these are Black Swallowtail butterfly caterpillars. Love the parsley. They totally destroyed my plant so I bought them some from the grocery store. I put the stems in a cup of water and it's holding up well enough---at the rate they're going they might eat it all before it wilts anyway! I wish I'd taken their pictures on Wednesday when they were less than 1" long. Now they're a good 2" long. Let me introduce you:   This one is named Parsley. Start up the music for Scarborough Fair. Sage. Rose, Mary, and And (yes, one of them is named And. Scroll down and see if you guessed why I named it And). Thymes Seven. Yes, this last one is named S...
