Late fall is beginning to arrive around here. After several days of blustery wind and rain, bright blue skies and seasonably cool temperatures finally have arrived. I’ll be driving again today, and it’s looking like conditions will be excellent. In my opinion, we’re due for a milder winter; the past three have been harsh by our admittedly low standard. I guess that’s about all the news around here. Be sure to come back soon!

Don’t forget what Thanksgiving is really about… and I don’t mean food or football!
Did anyone else see the Saturday Night Live skit with Matthew McConaughey in a wig, fake eyelashes and a fur.doing the Thanksgiving dinner with the arguments between relatives and the parody of the Adele album.
Darned funny and relative. That was a deliberate pun.
Hope everyone has a blessed Thanksgiving holiday!
If you’re from the South, you know this is true. If you are from another region, this is an educational opportunity: http://www.al.com/living/index.ssf/2015/11/11_weird_things_southerners_do.html#incart_most-read_
I volunteer at the Houston Museum of Natural Science. We get 4th graders at 10AM. We split them amongst ourselves and we get 4 – 10 kids and show them whatever we want. The only thing I ever do is Texas wildlife. We have a small case of albino animals, outside of the hall proper, it’s kind of dumb, but they were donated so we use them. Twice now I’ve had kids look at the albino raccoon and say “it’s evil”!
………- …….. Oh yeah, school rules are everyone gets at least ten minutes with the dinosaur bones ( we have the largest paleo hall in America, Canada has a bigger one) dinosaurs aren’t my thing but we have a second floor overlook where we can point everything out
Every word is true, Mark. Plus candy trays with fudge, divinity, pralines and peanut brittle, sometimes Turtles and other homemade sweets. It’s a kick off for Christmas candy. On top of all the pies and cakes.
No, Anonie, I didn’t see McConaughey in drag. (To me, SNL hasn’t been worth watching since Tina Fey and Amy Poehler left.) He wasn’t driving one of those ugly cars, was he?
I can’t get the site to load, but if it’s about “weird things Southerners do”, I’ve probably seen them all.
I did see this, though.

Debbe 😉 I do believe you’d enjoy listening to Chrissie burp in an elevator, wouldn’t you, hon? Me, too. 🙂 Since we have a trend going…

And yes, I plan on being. 🙂
This our grand kitties

Though there is no accident about it.
Of course I didn’t watch SNL in it’s entirity, just the Adele satire which of course was on Facebook.
By the way, several people mentioned I look like Adele but not the skinny emaciated one, the one when she was a little curvier. As I had only heard her on radio and don’t read People magazine or tabloids I had to Google for photos. I do not look like the emaciated haggard Adele with no makeup.
Not really very familiar with the lady, other than for the fact that a couple of years ago, one could not seem to get away from a song she was singing about wanting to be rolled over, or something. So I googled some photos, which showed her in a great number of different sizes, but none I’d call emaciated. This one from earlier this year did catch my eye, of course.

Which reminds me…perhaps it’s just me, but it seems an unconscionable period of time has passed since we last spied the charming Janis in her bath. Since we have seen her there a goodly number of times in the past, I feel it now qualifies as an entitlement.
Good morning Villagers….
Gal, please, you do the same. And thank you.
TR, you are absolutely right. It’s about family and friends..then food.
Ian called yesterday, he’ll be home Thanksgiving Day. I’m working, but will be joining #4 sister (the one born on Christmas Day), and since she is never on time, by the time I get off work, the feeding frenzy will have started. The only one missing will be Mom, the first seasonal festivities are the roughest I think. She’ll be there in spirit though.
Emb, you had a safe and fruitful visit with your son. Let us know when you get back.
a blessed Tuesday on all
Old Bear….whenever I start stirring around 3ish, my white cat will not leave me alone. Nothing like waking up to two of them staring at you like that 🙂
GR 😉 that was cute, that ‘burp’ would really resonate off the elevators walls now wouldn’t it. Yes, I’ve always loved listening to her sing, and her version of “Forever Young” was wonderfully done. Bookmarked it.
Now, if you have a few minutes…..her new album tralors….gotta get it.

GR 😉 interesting article I stumbled on (not that I’m an obsessed fan), but after reading all about Jackie’s (Anony) transitions, I’m think of cutting my long hair, and I like Chrissie’s look, and I may start doing highlights again. Not bad looking for being 64…she’s all about it.

truly, a bountiful crop

and, eMb, that was have not had….sorry.
,,and John…thank you for your volunteer work, working with 4th graders is tough. You’re a good man to do this.
Debbe 😉 Interesting connection between Chrissie and Mitch Ryder and TDW. I still have (very) fond memories of watching my favorite go-go dancers (remember them) at my favorite watering hole, working out to “Devil with the Blue Dress On.”
Debbe 😉 Shorter hair with highlights? You go, girl! 🙂
