While I was gone Keith and Helen 
the inflatable dinos got set up.

Christmas Paper Chains - I guess this is trending. I like this low-cost decoration.

Rolled Paper Bead Garland - a riff on the paperchain

Paper Vines- another alternative to the paper chain.

Inappropriate Thoughts

No free turkey in the mail this year for Nonna.  All of us were surprised that the misaddressed turkey did not arrive.  I know many people had questions if we received it this year.  Sadly, we did not.

Deep Thoughts

I have been wearing a heart monitor for a month. I am so glad as of Saturday I am free of it.  My chest might be permanently sticky.  It feels a lot like DIY medicine but isn't technology great. I live in the middle of nowhere, but I can have my heart monitored remotely.

Advent Practice

I have been marking what years
I have read Luke in my bible
NIV

It is not too late to start reading the gospel of Luke. I try to read a chapter a day starting December 1st.  It is a way I calm my mind in this busy season.  It isn't fancy. I have collected some commentary I usually have stuck in that chapter.  Every year, I walk away learning something new. I actually started on December 2.  If I catch up great.  If you choose to do this don't over complicate it.

Wordy Wednesday

 



For our book club, we read Between Two Kingdoms.  We had an opportunity to have an author meet over zoom on Monday.  The above quote really stood out to me as well.

Loveland Visitor Center


Inappropriate Thoughts
 

It is kind of sad that I had a hard time finding the defrost on my car. Where I currently live, it does get cold but not by Colorado standards. A light snow like the one above would have shut down the whole town.

Deep Thoughts


I went home for Thanksgiving, and I realized I haven't done that much in my adult life. I always lived to far away for a quick visit. I often visit at Christmas when a longer visit is possible

Trash Talk

It was a light trash day last Saturday, but we did find part of a CB radio which led me to speculate, "What would be my CB trash handle?" Would it be Spicy Older Lady, Head Crack coon, Trash Panda, White trash? There is so many choices.

Spicy Older Lady Blazer Fan Club

I am still an Ollie fan who looked really cute at Halloween with Donovan Clingan. I also enjoyed Dame's costume.


I really need to shorten the name of our fan club.  The season is going. It seems like every game is a nail biter.  Also, thanks to the Blazers announcers I feel like I have to build my all-lumber team.

Surprise, surprise the Blazers are actually doing well in the Emirates Cup. They are at the top of their group. They play the Spurs Wednesday.

I learned a new fact about the Moda Center in Portland thanks to an Instagrammer there is a secret apartment in the Moda Center that Paul Allen owned. Who knew?

I did not need all about super fan Thundor during the Oklahoma Thunder/Blazers game. That is an extreme fan.
