Friday Feelings

 

Thoughts from the sunroom

Good morning!  Today I'm feeling

Thankful 

-- for our Grace's bounce-back.  All weekend she was feeling so poorly, not eating.  We thought, "This is it."  A little after 7am we were standing at the vet's front door, bracing for the worst.

Well, after a myriad of tests and fluid therapy they determined she didn't have pancreatitis and sent us home with new scripts and gastroenteric dog food.  I don't know what's in these magic potions, but not a week later she's cleaning her plate, acting like a new girl.

I'm just throwing these out here in case anyone else has a fur baby who's under the weather.

Thankful, too

-- for good news from Tom's neurologist Tuesday morning.  His manner is less than stellar and in fact, dismisses me like one would a random house fly.  While he didn't share much about the results of the MRI's, he allowed there's no evidence of a brain tumor.  Thank you, Jesus!

Now we wait for his referral to an Ear/Nose/Throat specialist.  

Sad

-- at coverage of the sinking of the S. S. United States.  The cheers.  The mean metaphors (iykyk).

I understand why they did it, but watching it sink beneath the waves while the Coast Guard played 'Taps' was absolutely heartbreaking.

For a minute, I was still that little girl standing at the rail of our ship in New York Harbor, watching as my parents explained, "That is the fastest ocean liner to cross the Atlantic."

Hungry

-- what else is new, haha!

Tom can be vexing at time, but he's kind enough to let me choose our Thanksgiving menu.   Son Troy doesn't do pork and the only turkey meat I enjoy is Boar's Head cold Cajun slices.

Hence, the table will feature not a turkey, but pot roast.   

But wow. When spotting the meat prices at Publix we both had a 'moment.'   Drove next door to Wal Mart and found two pretty roasts.

One is resting in the freezer, and I'm doing a dress rehearsal tomorrow with the other.   Tom's been forwarding me FB video recipes, and I can't decide which sounds best.

Tonight the test kitchen will feature Salami Cups I'd like to serve as an appetizer.  Sounds easy-peasy, but I'm not taking any chances!

What will crown your Thanksgiving table?

   

 

Well, the little girl at my feet is impatient to be fed, so I'm going to wrap this up.

I hope you all are enjoying a sweet day.  Let's chat soon!

Hugs, Myra
