November Needs More Days!!!!

 I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving.  With the arrival of COVID three years ago, our holidays became different.  But still ok.  I do miss the wild pandemonium of Thanksgiving with all of us plus brothers-in-law, nieces and nephews....who can forget the trip to a battlefield or the new movie and then dinner at California Pizza Kitchen?  But, now travel is not big in anyone's mind and kids go off to their significant others.  I am not complaining.  We had a great Thanksgiving. We celebrated with our neighbor, Rhonda, and with a lot of food!

Thanksgiving dinner

It was delicious!

Now, I am putting away all things Fall and getting ready to put up Christmas.  


Doesn't everyone use their bedroom as a staging arena?

I took apart these wreaths and re-put them together


Honestly, there need to be more days in November!!!!!!!

And in the world of our favorite things.....Jake is home from Dr. Fernando's rehab spa and apparently he is happy to be home ruling the roost.

And we say "Welcome" to Phoenix.  Jane got Carole to agree to opening their home to a dog that will be living her best life with Jane.

Phoenix

Phoenix is about 3 years old and was a stray in San Francisco.  Jane says she is the sweetest thing ever!!!!! Welcome to the Family!!!

So, enjoy the holiday and relax ~ everything does not have to happen before December 1st!  (That is what Amy tells me!!!)

Much love,

Leslie
