As I recall, you are in upstate NY (where my husband is from, so I always notice that with GoComics posters) — I hope you didn’t have any of the recent possible snow. I’m downstate on Long Island and we’ve had a little snow here and there, but nothing awful. We used to host my husband’s family from upstate, but after his mother died (years ago), we’ve been mostly just the two of us (plus cat, Della), although we have a house, not an apartment, so that’s a little easier — although it’s a 1940s kitchen with 1960s/1970s updates, so that can be challenging (the 1960s stove’s oven is iffy on keeping its temperature steady!). Hope it all tasted good!
I’m so sorry to hear of your mom’s death! Be aware that the first year can be difficult! My mom died in October (years ago), but Thanksgiving went OK because we (my husband and I) had always celebrated that with his family, but I fell apart in December with Christmas because that’s the holiday that we had celebrated with my family.
Lots of creative people seem to have been born in November! You (with your comic strip), Georgia (with hers), and my husband (the music guy — he’s a percussionist). Happy belated birthday!
Yep! After an “experience” that I thankfully have forgotten, whenever anything goes in the oven that is not intended to be cooked or warmed immediately, a note gets taped to the oven’s door!
I’m so sorry to hear about the “nay” — I and my husband well know about seeing a doctor and then you’ve got a list of things to do. I hope everything works out in the long run!
They’re of school age — at least these days.
