      Potatoes are just plain good aren’t they. Gravy is too. Happy weekend, Steve. 🙂

  1. Memories of Eric and Flynn – I started this blog to show my holiday photos but haven't added to it for so long, but you can see my other holiday photos at https://allatseawithme.blogspot.com My main blog is my cat blog at https://twodevoncats.blogspot.com

    That is such a pretty cat.
    A huge thanksgiving feast with all my blog friends would be so much fun. I don’t normally have second servings of anything. I fill my plate way too much the first time around to have room for seconds.

      Sandee says:

      It would be most fun. I’ve love to meet all my blogging buddies for a feast. 🙂

  8. Cecilia Upchurch says:

    I too loved my career working with students from all over the World…they taught me so much and freely shared facts about their homes. Don’t faint but I am a talker….(then and now); however, they taught me to be a good listener. Accents etc. Retirement is my favorite career too.

  13. Wing Commander Basil & The B Team – UK – Well, now there's a question! Furstly and most importantly I'm a cat if mew hadn't already guessed. I got my Wing Commander status in September 2018 but that hasn't slowed me up at all! I tweet, Instacat, FB, Tumble & Pin too and now there's Basil TV on YouTube. All in all I'm a thoroughly Modern Cat; a cat of the 21st century, mew might say. My human & Purrsonal Assistant aka P.A. is Cathrine Garnell, and she writes books including a tale about my fictional alter ego, Basil the Bionic Cat. [See Books Page] I live in a multi-cat household, and mew can meet the rest of The B Team here most days of the week, as they all like a turn on the blog. I like mice, but then don't we all? I also like fresh tuna, chicken and prawns. I LOVE catnip, not in any excess I might add before mew jump to any wild conclusions. Thanks so much for dropping by, as we The B Team, love making new furriends, so do leave us a comment and say hi.
    Wing Commander Basil & The B Team says:

    What a gorgeous, epically floofy kitty! Supurr fill-ins and snap on #3, we’d have the most epically epic feast for sure! Happy weekend Sandee!

    That cat is beautiful.

    Work is a blessing, although we sometimes don’t see it that way when we’re in the thick of it. Hope you and Mr. Zane have a fabulous weekend!

  18. Jen – Texas – My name is Jennifer, but my friends and family call me Jen. I live in the DFW area here in Texas. ​I am a 49-year-old mom of two not-so-little kids - T (22) and S (19). I have been married to my best friend and soulmate, Fabian, for 23 years. We share our home with three crazy hairballs named Korina, Tabitha, and Tumbledart, and a doggo named Zac. I love reading and started at a young age when first introduced to my mother's stash of Nancy Drew Mysteries. Then I developed an odd fascination for horror and became obsessed with Stephen King during my middle school years. It is still my favorite horror novel. I was in high school when the "romance" book bug took a bite. I read my first historical romance novel, Skye O'Malley, by Bertrice Small, and I never looked back. That was almost 30 years ago. I love history and the Dark Ages of Scotland and Britain, with Tudor England and Regency following close behind. I adore Jane Austen! My passion is still Historical Romance, although I will read just about any genre that strikes my fancy these days. I have been gaming since the days of Atari when I would sit and play Asteroids and Missile Command for hours, after homework, of course! I still recall my father getting our first computer and becoming enveloped in PC gaming with Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves and Oregon Trail. Consoles by Nintendo and the Play Station soon followed, and the rest is history. I introduced my children to gaming at a young age, and we have been gaming and playing together ever since. We mainly play PC games like Minecraft, Wizard101, Pirate101, Toontown Rewritten, and games on Roblox and Steam, but we also play on the Switch and PS4, too. ​ I have been online, in some form or fashion, building a website or sharing my thoughts and musings for quite a few years.

    Wow, that cat is majestic. Just look at that fur.

    I’m with you, Sandee. Bring on the potatoes and gravy! I always enjoy the sides better than the turkey at Thanksgiving.

    How awesome would it be to meet our blogging buddies in person? Answer: Super awesome 🙂

    Have a great weekend, my friend!

    I’m so happy you have a strong family core (I do too, and it is a precious gift) and that you enjoy retirement! Here’s mine:

    On holidays, I usually have a second serving of (same, bring on the potatoes and gravy). 🙂
    I am thankful for life in general, my kids/grandkids, and for good health.
    I would like to invite (again, I’m copying your answer, that’s a great one!) my blogger buddies over for a feast.
    My divorce was a blessing in disguise (in many, many ways). Weird to say because as you know, I liked being married and loved my husband very much. P.S. Seems like the visit is going great. Teen and dad both texting me pictures of the kiddo in the snow. He’s having a blast so far and that makes me very happy. His heart can now be complete (I don’t care what anyone says, a child wants both parents to love him and be involved). And as my grandma used to say, all is well that ends well.

    Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!!

      What wonderful fill-ins and I’m so happy your son is having a great time with his dad. Made me smile. I was here with you when you divorced. We’ve been blogging together for a very long time. Happy Thanksgiving, my friend. Hugs. ♥
