The harvest from our 2025 deck garden was very modest & very tasty. (This is around one-fourth of it… we even grew a couple of small watermelons!)
We can’t wait for next year! Many plans to expand… never say never, even in an apartment or condo! #gardening

It will never cease to amaze me that so many tech bros read Lord of the Rings, decided the hobbits were the bad guys and Sauron and his forces were the good guys, and have built their entire personalities around being corporate ring wraiths.
My rule of thumb is if the company is named after something in Lord of the Rings, it’s almost certainly evil.
Since its founding in 2017, Anduril Industries has become one of the hottest companies in a crowded field of defense-tech startup.
Its fast-moving approach comes with its share of setbacks.

Last Thanksgiving, Mom was in the hospital... I had to leave NCTE early when she had her crisis.
I'm so very thankful that she is here with us today. Even insisted on making "her" turkey and candied yams. (Yes, I'm watching her...)

I am a night owl, but even on a holiday, my hometown wakes up early. 😭
My mama was up at dawn cooking. Phone was pinging and chiming with friends, family, sorors, and sistars wishing everyone a Happy Thanksgiving. And of course, people go to the parade (my dad was in it a few times) and/or game.

Many of us dance with ghosts of loved ones who have passed during these holidays. I feel so blessed that so far mine have been benevolent, especially after the pain of their departure is no longer fresh.
The new ancestors are gentle with us as we remember them through recipes, stories, and songs.

As a kid, we watched the Detroit (Hudson's) parade first with cinnamon rolls... Santa would come last.
We'd switch channels & watch the end of the Macy's parade in NYC. The little kids would play while dinner was finished. I'd read, or eavesdrop on the adults before Lions kickoff. #PreciousMemories
