    I hope that you and your family have the best Thanksgiving, with loads of yummy left-overs so you don’t have to cook for days. Hope you unbutton the top button of your slacks and roll off the table onto the sofa and cuddle in warmth and contentment. x

    Happy Thanksgiving! Stay warm and dry, Claudia. It’s going to be 87 here today, and I am longing for a little bit of winter, but feel fortunate to not be dealing with your weather on the East coast. Special hugs to Scout today!

      It snowed a lot yesterday and it’s still snowing a bit today. We didn’t get as much as predicted, thankfully, and we’re doing fine! 87 seems a bit too much for Thanksgiving, doesn’t it? But I remember those temps from when I lived in San Diego!

      It might just be veggies for us – we had some Tofurkey last year….and it didn’t ‘settle’ quite right!

      • Sally says

        November 27, 2014 at 3:31 pm

        Sorry, I just say Tofurky so people know I’m a vegetarian. I don’t eat it. David likes it but I can’t stand it, I hate the texture – very tough to me. We’re going out to eat today at a restaurant that has a vegetarian option – it says our main will be “Portobello Mushroom, Radicchio and Buratta “Steak” with Autumn Herb Jus.

        Happy veggies to you!

Welcome!

Welcome!

I live in a little cottage in the country with my husband. It's a sweet place, sheltered by old trees and surrounded by gardens. The inside is full of the things we love. I love to write, I love my camera, I love creating, I love gardening. My decorating style is eclectic; full of vintage and a bit of whimsy.

I've worked in the theater for more years than I can count. I'm currently a voice, speech, dialect and text coach freelancing on Broadway, off Broadway, and in regional theater.

Thanks for stopping by.
