I hope your holiday was wonderful and also your travels!

It was a lovely day here too, and we overate as usual. I think turkey carcass soup is the order of the day today. That’s as much a tradition for me as pumpkin pie!

Thanks for From Scratch. <3 (so cute to see Cookie Monster!)
Enjoy your week *off *, ella.

Look to the SSW at twilight. Jupiter and Venus are a duet of Evening Stars to wish upon.

Monday evening, if memory serves, the crescent moon will be there with them.

Today is a luxury. I’ve worked the day after TG and the holiday itself more times than I care to think. How anyone could go out and fight the crowds today is beyond me.

I am directionally challenged, but I actually do know where at least SW is and will look tonight and Monday, if it’s clear enough. Thanks! I will hear Jiminy Cricket singing in my mental juke box as I wish upon a star. Or two.

Enjoy your leftovers, your book, your day and any mischief you might get up to!

Otherwise, trust all is well. Your recipes, suggestions ever entice … cookies, cakes, meats, soups, and now GIFTS suggestions too!!!

Sharing tips: I heard of a combo I’ll be trying soon – mango & avocado …. just makes SENSE doesn’t it?

Season’s Very Best to you.

I have no idea who the picture’s by. Wish I did. I signed into photobucket one day and it was on the front page. The golden caught my eye immediately; I still miss my goldie. Loving apples as I do, it became a no-brainer to use it.

I’m intrigued about your goose story. I’ll stop by tomorrow when I have time to savor it.

Good to see you! And ho ho back at ya!
