Thanksgiving - that was different!
I had such a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday. It lasted several days, and I missed one event entirely, due to weather. But I had some great conversations with a variety of interesting people.
And I had turkey three times. (One was in turkey chili--yum!) And pecan pie just like Aunt Helen used to make. I also drank a mimosa and ate a piece of sheet cake at a baby shower (yay!) on Friday, and enjoyed dinner in a local restaurant on Saturday.
I didn't give myself time to ruminate on the way Thanksgiving used to be. Well, not very much time, anyway. I didn't even cry. I was fortunate to be surrounded by wonderful people, and also (for this introvert) to have enough alone-time so I could recharge my batteries between events.
Speaking of batteries, I accidentally checked the battery (it works!) in my smoke alarm when cooking bacon in my oven.
Here Comes the Sun - After Dark!
Also on the topic of energy, I'm loving my new solar-powered light. I had read about the Luci light, and bought one to use in case of power outage. It's super! (The photo above was taken with all other lights in my apartment turned off.) Now when I'm going to be coming home late, I leave the solar light turned on and don't have to walk into a dark apartment. I much prefer this to leaving one of my other lights on. Why waste the energy, when the sun can light up the space for me? The Luci light charges in window during the day. I'd be happy never to need it for a power outage, but if I do--voila! Highly recommend.
Reading List
I recently sped through Starry Night , a Debbie Macomber romance novel from several years ago. It's one of those she had me at the first sentence experiences. Now I'm doing my annual(ish) re-read of Rosamunde Pilcher's Winter Solstice. I want to be like the heroine, Elfrida Phipps, when I grow up. (Though perhaps without the marmalade-colored hair.) And of course I want to write like Rosamunde Pilcher. Good luck, right?
Some of the books I did write are on promotion until November 30th.
Ebook version of titles 1, 2, and 3 of The McClains of Legend, Tennessee series:
MIDNIGHT IN LEGEND, TN - FREE,CHRISTMAS COLLISION - 99 cents, andWHERE HER HEART IS - $1.99.
You can find all of the McClains series at these vendors:

Okay, I'll let you get back to the project of figuring out what to do with those Thanksgiving leftovers. Anybody want a vat of potato soup?
Until next time--Happy Reading!
