Although I didn’t eat a scrap of proper Thanksgiving dinner today I had a lovely holiday. It started with a call from Warrior Queen and her consort Todd G. (the dears!). I had several FaceTime calls from various Spo-relations who were all bouncing off each other with ADHD excitement. For supper I made a fabulous M&C with fried cubes of SPAM. It was very good and we ate it with relish. After dinner Someone and I watched an episode of Dr. Who and I had a good snort of rare Mexican whisky (no basura). Oh to have a proper fireplace fire right now! It would be an absolute delight to sit in the inglenook and fall asleep.
I coiffed the blog with some holiday trimmings. The Board of Directors Here at Spo-reflections is pleased as punch to have its photo inserted among the widgets*.
Despite the my frock and the gaiety of the day I don’t have much to report otherwise. Tomorrow I take the car to the mechanic. I hope the dear can figure out what is making that dreadful scraping noise under the car. I sense I will have lots of waiting time to compose something of wit and value. Don’t touch that dial.
*Actually the picture is a cartoon pinched from the internet. I’ve never been successful getting them to sit still long enough to get a proper portrait. Once upon a time I hired a professional photographer to do the job. It didn’t go well. They took umbrage at his bossiness and retakes. In the end they burned down the studio and sold him to the Rus. It was tactless but they were very angry.

I have heard of people eating M&C with ketchup before, but relish? Clearly you are living a refined life.
I am grateful for Spo-reflections. I also hope you and Someone manage to spend some quality time together even though he is working.

We often eat a good meal with relish it’s true. I am grateful for knowing you.

glad RTG and I made your day. I did as little as possible to give my lungs a chance to rest/heal. RTG cooked his turkey; I had chicken parm. and we had fruitcake. I assume the BoD is sleeping off a drunk somewhere.

Up to no good that’s certain. No sign of them. They are planning some outrage or perhaps doing some Black Friday shopping.

That’s exactly how I pictured the Board. We had Pad Thai for Thanksgiving dinner. Not turkey Pad Thai.

Pad Thai in Spain? Next thing you’ll tell me you have Chinese take-out.

Sound like a delightful little day. We did our thing, I cooked the last supper in the Lexington house, headed home from home today.

I hope it was a lovely case of kenopsia.

I had a CLIF bar, a banana, microwave popcorn and iced tea for dinner. I had boneless honey BBQ wings and loaded potato skins for lunch, though.

Husband and I hosted Thanksgiving at the in-laws. MIL is in hospice and can’t leave the house. So we had all guests at their house. It turned out so much better since not quite as many loud attendees (many UNDER four feet) were present. We did FaceTime with cousin-in-law and her daughter and grandchildren. But second cousin-in-law got a nice gift from third cousin-in-law after he decided to let his “fire hose” loose when getting his diaper changed. 🙂 You should download the Calm app if you want a crackling fire on demand. I sometimes use it to fall asleep to. That, or the summer crickets. Glad that you had a good time. So much to be thankful for despite the Mar-a-Lago resident. But hey, we get to see Kristin Welker reporting there in a sleeveless blouse. 🙂

The Calm app? I will go have a look-see.

It was wonderful to speak to you yesterday. We are trying to send you a link about a “Viking re-enactor” who claims that the only Vikings who wear horns are from Minnesota! Whatever will the BoD think?
