Giving Thanks for ... uh, something ... everything ...

Thanksgiving was good here. It is just hard to get our heads around that David is not here, standing behind anyone cooking saying: Well, if I were doing it, I would do it like this ... LOL. We missed him all day. And Bri and I reminisced about how mom cooked all day while her bracelets jangled. We missed her too. But we (meaning mainly Bri and Matt) cooked up a great meal that we enjoyed.

Well, I have to share this!!! I guess AI isn't all bad? 

 

You know how I get fascinated by some YouTube channels ... well, this one has caught my attention. Honestly, watching how weird, selfish, rude and misbehaved some Chinese can be makes sense now. You think about their past and political repression. I am watching lots of videos about other cultures' behavior, trying to get a sense of what in the F has happened to ours? The more ridiculous TikTok videos I run across, the less hope I have for us. The Chinese fake food, makes me a little sick to my stomach!

 

 

I am ordering small perfume samples to go in our stockings. Thinking about getting Bri a Jo Malone sample kit. Small, fun stuff like sequined freckles for the girls. I am trying to keep it very small, fun and not very expensive. Stuff for fun!
