One day last week I had a Thanksgiving sub from Firehouse on the suggestion of a friend - and I also ate it al fresco at a local park.
It was delish, but I thought "Oh, I could make a better one", then I remembered I wasn't going to make a traditional Thanksgiving dinner. I'm going to have to buy the ingredients to make one these sammies. I'm thinking some sliced deli turkey, a box of Stovetop, a can of cranberry jelly, and a sub roll. I'm already looking forward to recreating it.
I know some people will be shocked to see this ring on this blog, but I feel like wearing it on my wedding ring finger will make me chuckle and give rise to some very honest thoughts. I didn't want to be a widow and I hate having to do everything that Mark never showed me how to do, no matter how capable I feel. And I think it is normal and OK to express that. I'm not wearing it for anyone but me. Same as the tat. I did a load of errands the other day (getting my hair cut, mailing a box, doing a bit of thrifting) and as I passed Home Depot I remembered I wanted to replace the front door outside mat. Decisions, decisions. I picked the black and brown one which matches the front door.
I also popped in to Hob Lob for a spray of artificial Fall leaves to add to the hanging basket.
I wiped down the door, spiffed the basket of greenery, swept the bricks. Pretty soon it will be time to take Fall down and decorate for Christmas! I was going to put up the trees today (no ornaments) but we will see how industrious I feel.
I know it looks like Fall in this photo, but the A/C is on at my house and the temp outside is 83. In November! This dead tree on the grounds of the church a few blocks away looks like it could tell some stories. This whole area was pasture way back when. Imagine how many cows sat under its shade. I like that they left it here like some kind of sculpture! I have really enjoyed my walks and see something new every time, but I wish we could get a break from the heat.
Happy November!
