dual personalities

We had a super fun Thanksgiving break thanks to a visit from our eldest son and the first real snow of the year. We went turkey-free for the first time, not because we have developed a sudden empathy for big, dumb birds, but because Covid has made us lazy and a little rebellious. We feasted on cheese, crackers, the DH’s delicious homemade sausage rolls, and a yummy selection of dried fruit and nuts that Tim and Abbie sent. I had invited a friend to join us for family-favorite beef stew the next evening, but the snow arrived and so she opted, quite sensibly, to stay home.

On Saturday afternoon, the snow having stopped, we ventured out to the camp to enjoy some bracing fresh air – at least until it “got into our lungs”. We found quite the winter wonderland.

Fortunately, James saved his aging parents by doing all the shoveling!

Now, we are gearing up for the end of the semester and the wild and woolly holidays. Maybe I’ll channel my inner Bertie Wooster and wear Christmas themed clothes that will inspire the DH to remark, “I assumed it had got into your wardrobe by mistake, or else that it has been placed there by your enemies.” In any case, I am in the mood to watch the adventures of Jeeves and Wooster, pretty much all of which are on YouTube. The title of this post comes from season 1, episode 3:

This weekend I plan to finish decorating the house for Christmas and preparing packages for mailing. Then it’s on to the last week of classes – yay! Have a grand weekend!
