That sounds like a great idea! I think I will suggest it to our town council rep. Do you have any idea how many resources it takes your town to run something like that? Better yet, could you provide me with a contact so I can get some details?

I did some dishes and cleaned the kitchen. But I spent most of the day looking at accessible bathroom fixtures and shower curtains. I'm getting grab bars in my bathroom, and part of that is taking out the glass shower doors and getting a shower curtain instead.

How in the world does anyone pick out a shower curtain? I've always had doors, and I'm having a really hard time. For one thing, the curtain is so big it takes over the look of the whole room, and this is a small bathroom. For another, I will have to like it enough to look at it several times a day and not get sick of it. It's like choosing art. It could be fun, but really it's just stressing me out.

1) Went out to dinner last night with my pal from work. He treated us to Fish and chips at a neighborhood Pub. Oh my, three huge fish fillets…. With homemade tartar sauce, cabbage salad and to die for onion rings. Oh my, so delish!!

2) I got a new ‘love’ interest. Don’t worry. I’m going very sssllloooowwww.

Today I babied myself with rest and pampering: I fell the other day and nearly broke my hand/wrist (it’s got gnarly looking bruises but thankfully no broken or fractured bone). It felt good just to sleep and dream the morning away.

I made a list of things to make for “Friendsgiving” night: homemade crocheted ear warmers-head-bands, small slices of homemade goats milk soap bars scented with amber and cloves, and little tarts filled with pistachio banana cream pudding with whipped cream on top.

For Christmas I plan to not worship any cult figure (Santa, etc) and spread some fierce kind-hearted joy to friends and family. My home is decorated in Boho Christmas fashion so it’s always Christmas here. No Santa necessary. Just good old fashioned respectful kind and generous auras to enrich the season of holidays.
