(This spool-top table was given to me by my son’s 5th grade class as a thank you gift for helping in the classroom… I made the matching chairs by re-purposing old diner chair frames.) It now lives in my youngest son’s college apartment… 🥰

Do you make your own pumpkin purée? Or use the canned stuff?
I am looking for good pumpkin recipes, we had a bumper crop this year… 🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃
This is what my front porch looks like right now… 🤦‍♀️

We have a Thanksgiving tradition for leftovers that I think you will appreciate… we make Thanksgiving pizza on Friday…
Gravy as the base, then layer ALL the leftovers (except salad, but including cranberry sauce) with mozzarella and bake until the crust is cooked. You only need 1 slice, but YUM!😋

You’ve heard of teacup dogs? Well here’s a coffee cup kitten!☕️🐈‍⬛💖

Good morning my friends! Last night was lovely, I had an opportunity to go to a play written by an old high school friend, and was able to see friends I haven’t seen in years! Met my girlfriend’s 20 year old daughter, who was 1 the last time I saw her. 🤯
How does that happen?⏳🪰⌛️

I loved reading about your friendship with Joan…🥰
The tea party was just for the two of us…
…but it was followed by a dinner party that included the men, and THAT involved alcohol from a local winery www.newclairvauxvineyard.com/about-us/
It was the best red wine I’ve had in a very long time!🍷❤️

I was thinking about you the other day when I was setting up a tea party for the girlfriend I went to Scotland with last year… I busted out my great uncle’s china (that I have had for 20 years and never once used) and I thought 💭 “This is a tea party that GP would approve of!”☺️
November 16, 2025 at 4:52 PM
First of all: What a wonderful post GP! I love it!🥰
2nd: I definitely need that butterfly mask to go with my wings…
Finally: How can I get my hands on those adorable little Ewoks!!🥰
November 16, 2025 at 4:20 PM
Absolutely! 😊
I see you are a fellow “skywatcher”….
We had a really good one tonight! 😍

Good Morning Jon!
I love it!! 🕷️👩‍🍼💖
It’s an amazing thing to see…
(I have one of those in my photo album too)

😂 No, it’s just what you get when you let kids name their own pets…
He’s named after the “Night Fury” Dragon in the “How to Train Your Dragon” movies.

I was not a cat person either. But I have continually had cats adopt me for the last 30 years… so I guess that makes me a cat person.
It all started when I agreed to let my roommate be a SPCA Foster mom… she adopted the litter (2) and somehow I ended up with the for the next 17 years!

But the crawled away from her and she couldn’t bring them back.
About 3 days after they were born, she came out to me frantically crying and lead me to the box… we tore it open and found all the dead kittens and Velcro. So in the house (in my box) they came.
November 8, 2025 at 6:23 PM
😂 That’s his baby… Velcro was a sole survivor of a litter that his mother (Li’l) made a very poor birthing location decision. So he was raised in the house from 3 days old
He has never learned how to retract his claws… so he sticks to EVERYTHING! 😂
He’s a monster, but we all adore him…

I don’t know what that is.. I’ll probably just put her canned cat food bowl in the cat carrier and take her to the vet.
She lets me handle her while she’s eating.
She is a scaredy cat, but gentle.
Unlike her brother, Velcro, who is a lovable demon.

Hi Pekka! 😊
Thank you… (there is a new crew of barn kittens waiting to be tamed once I’ve gotten these two to trust me.😬)
I have a lovely day!💖

Such a wonderful thread Kris! Thank you!
When we were at Pt Reyes a few weeks ago the Pelicans were everywhere!! It was spectacular! They are so amazing to watch.
There was a carcass on the beach… I never knew about the “tooth” at the end of their beak…

It’s a beautiful day… warmer than expected for November 1st.
Ranger was taking advantage of the shade of my shadow towards the end of our walk… 🥰🐶
