Happy Thanksgiving 2018! Today is the day we celebrate our Freedoms before we knew quite what our country was going to be.
Its a day we generally celebrate with family and friends and good food.
My job was pies! 2 cherry because last time…. I only made one… not enough pieces! and an apple.
Several are looking forward to turkey and pie this year at the table!
Hope you are celebrating with family or friends, or both.
Happy Thanksgiving 2018!
Beth and Goldie
Winter weather has come early to Kentucky. For once the weather person pretty nailed the winter weather.
Its not like Kentucky doesn’t have winter, but this stuff doesn’t usually plague us in November. First a wave of cold air and then a very cold rain for a very short time, which then turned into sleet and freezing rain into the late evening. It stopped raining in the middle of the night.
When we got up in the morning… our predicted winter weather was here! Ice covered everything and we still had power! We had Internet for about 15 minutes but of course it went down. So we switched to our wireless devices to Hotspot. That lasted for about 20 minutes and then the whole Cellular system went down. Cell phones came back up around lunchtime and we had about 2 hours of Cable around dinner time for the news and a little entertainment TV, and then boom out again.
Many of the BIG trees in the neighborhood suffered some damage… Our little birch tree in the backyard was resting on the fence from the weight of the ice, but I can happily report that it is upright today, but it has a new curve to the trunk!
While a coating of ice makes life a little more problematic, it does make the ordinary look extraordinary… warning… a few pictures below!!!
Today, we have sunshine with high clouds moving in. The ice has melted. Clear weather through Thanksgiving! Hopefully you haven’t been too bored with the pictures… above. Tell me what you think of them. I’d love to hear!

talk about Goldie!
Goldie has adapted very well to being the one and only. She Loves it. This is not an unusual position for her. She does this out of the blue and just stays like that… Linzi didn’t do this. Bandit didn’t do this (ever). The only dog I have had that did was Axel… all the time. He would also play with toys on his back, trying to either hold or position a toy in his mouth with is forelegs. Goldie does this too.
She has become a delight… now that she is healthy and seems to be learning faster. In addition, she has become the WATCH dog…. raising the alarm… when she thinks there is trouble!!! Boy can she get loud and deep.
Its great that she is doing well after a year of health issues and antibiotics. We tried to put her back on a commercial dog food, but that was a NO GO, so she is still on prescription food, although I may ask the vet if we might be able to change to one that is not the last resort formula.
We’ll be back again soon with a project. Of course technology has reared its ugly head in several areas AGAIN!
