Happy Day After

I don't have a thing to say today except that I am with the inlaws and outlaws in Illinois until Saturday. There were twenty-five of us for dinner, and we had a great day yesterday with lots of very tasty food—turkey, onion stuffing, roasted garlic mashed potatoes, sautéed green beans with lemon zest, a butternut squash something that I have to make myself someday, and more. And there was champagne.

There were also dogs—five of them. There is a wheaton terrier, an airedale, a bernese mountain dog the size of Montana, a little white thing with twisty legs because he's a puppy-mill dog, and a little gray thing that looks part schnauzer. I'll have pictures later.

Today will be for yawning and drinking coffee and playing with dogs.

In honor of the occasion, here is a link to yesterday's newspaper article. It's similar to a previous post, so skip it if you want.

You ate FIVE DOGS?
I hope you shaved them first. Dog hair is icky.

Cindy Loo Who In October

What is it with people and Cindy Loo Who? Of my last one hundred blog hits, forty have been direct visits from regular readers, and fifteen have been as a result of people searching for "Cindy Loo Who," the little pixie from Seuss's How The Grinch Stole Christmas . A couple of years ago, I posted an image of the original Seuss illustration as compared to the TV cartoon image, and for some reason, that post is bringing in the crowds, relatively. Maybe it's the weather. It isn't even November yet, and already we've had frost and have had to dust off our winter coats. When it gets cold like this, I start to think about Christmasy things like listening to Nat King Cole and decorating the tree. It's ironic because I am offended when retailers start pushing holiday stuff early, but I don't mind my own private celebrations. When my sister and I were much younger and still living with our parents, we would pick a day in July, close the curtains to darken the ...

Happy Birthday To...

Pope Leo IX (the Pope) JCF Bach (German composer) Jane Russell (of Gentlemen Prefer Blonds fame) Daniel Carter Beard (founder of the Boy Scouts of America) Jean-Paul Sartre (French philosopher) Maureen Stapleton (Academy Award winning actress) Mariette Hartley (who?) Prince William of Wales (the prince) but most importantly, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 45 years ago today, I was born in Alabama in a small town on the banks of the Tennessee River. Yesterday, someone asked me if my family has any birthday traditions. The answer is no. My family never cared very much, but I do remember a few birthday highlights. I was given a birthday party in the back yard when I was ten years old. Two years later, my sister got married on my birthday, so I was just a bit overlooked, although I did get a stuffed animal--it was a white Yorkshire terrier with an AM radio in its stomach. When I turned 20, a different sister took me to an outdoor performance of Dvorak's New World Sympho...
