Your Weekend Read: RATTLESNAKE

 Awesome author C. Lee McKenzie has a new release.

Blurb:

The desert town of Rattlesnake isn’t a destination. It’s a last resort. Seventeen-year-old Jonah Guthrie’s aunt sold their home in New England and fled to this place to escape the humiliation of his dad’s indictment for embezzlement and subsequent disappearance. 

While their late uncle left them a house and a silver mine, the house is a shambles and the mine is defunct. They’re almost out of money, so they have no choice but to stay in Rattlesnake. And then Jonah discovers they’ve inherited something else. Her name is Catherine, and she’s been dead for over a hundred year. Now, she needs his help.

 

I’ll take pie over cake any day.

I never order pasta dishes when I go out to dinner.

I love picnics as much as candlelight dinners.

Ketch-up Day

 

 

I'm back....... 

If you celebrate, how was your Thanksgiving? We went to Philly via an eleven hour train ride to spend it with our daughter and SIL. The train we travel on is old, has bathroom issues and several cranky conductors. To be fair, there were a couple of nice ones. One was a model conductor, very helpful, so I shouldn't grumble too much.  I wanted to take pictures for Andrew, but that didn't work out. Anyhoo, we made it to Philly safe and sound.

The next morning we spent a little time at University of Pennsylvania then went back to the house where M and J prepared Thanksgiving dinner and the HH and I stretched out on the couch and watched the Christmas parade and movies.

This is the feeder my SIL made.

And this is a frequent visitor. Look how chunky he's getting.

This lovely little pond is located at Penn.

Can you see the sparrows? There's several in the leaves.

This little guy was a show stopper. He'd come right up to you and beg for food.

Back to the house and the cooks are hard at work.

Vegetarian Shepherd's Pie

Ah, dinner.

It was a lovely day and luscious dinner.

What about you blogger buds? Catch me up on what you've been doing.

Happy Thanksgiving

 To those that celebrate, have a Happy Thanksgiving week.

 Wishing you all much bounty. I'll be back next week.

I'm posting today on the Peacemaker at Cowboy Kisses. If you're in the vicinity, and so inclined, stop by and say 'hey'.

Did You Know

 

 Did you know, that if your freezer bag is just a tiny bit too small, you can put the object you wanted in the freezer bag inside one bag, take another freezer bag and turn it inside out. Put the two together and then zip them shut, tongue and grove method, and you have doubled the size of your freezer bag.

 

Writerly Wednesday

 What's your synonym or sentence for:

 Example: Hide your books. The biblioklept is coming for a visit.

AND

 

It's Ketch-up Day

 

How's your week going? We are still raking and hauling to the curb:)

 AND 

A little cost comparison.

Have the rest of you encountered sticker shock at restaurants? 

We met some friends for breakfast the other day.  With tip, the total was close to $50. For two breakfasts. Picture me clutching my heart and reeling backwards. Then we met a friend a few days later for lunch. (Honestly, there are things we do besides eat. Like rake leaves. Hehe.) Anyhoo, we went to a little Italian restaurant in town. Picked up the tab for the three of us and with tip, it was only $30.   I had a piece of veggie pizza shown below.  It's hard to tell from the picture but the slices of pizza are gargantuan. I'd already eaten a portion of it. It's served on a small platter instead of a plate.

From the garden

 

 AND

The critters

 

 

That's all folks.
