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!

Your front door looks so nice! Have fun recreating that sub. It sounds yummy.
ReplyDeleteIt got up to 83° this week. That really annoyed me. Fortunately, it’s going to be more seasonal in the 60s and 70s for the next week to 10 days, so I’m happy about that. Your front porch looks so nice. I made the biggest mistake of my life when I bought a very nice doormat for my front door. It looked so nice in the picture, it was pricey, it came from a respected company, and it is beautiful. It’s also big and deep. Putting it on the front porch pretty much takes up the entire porch. Ironically, it has the initial “T” for my last name, but it turns out that “T” is more appropriate for the word “trip,” because it is so deep that that’s what people do. Ugh.
ReplyDeleteYour door looks lovely. It's in the 80s here, too, which is odd for the northeast in November. I love summer weather, but in November it just doesn't feel quite right. As far as the ring goes, I think that sometimes a well place expletive is just what the doctor ordered. Enjoy the weekend!
ReplyDeleteI wish I had a fuck ring. :-) Or maybe one that has only 3 initials - FML - fuck my life. It would make me laugh every time I looked at it.
