Taylor the Turkey.

Not all turkeys are pardoned on Thanksgiving. Just one is picked by the President to be saved from the ax. Traditions are often silly but quirky makes life less mundane, don’t ya thing?

Here is a cute creation made by my little Z, age 8, of a turkey in disguise because if only one turkey is pardoned, we need to take action to help all the others get away. (But turkey happens to be very delicious…)

She loves her Taylor Swift. Thanks Taylor not only for your catchy lyrics and for making football fun again, but thanks also for saving the world one turkey at a time!🦃

There should be a song for this…

There is a post-Christmas song entitled “I Cry the Day I Take the Tree Down” by Michael McLean. (If you have not seen The Forgotten Carols, this Christmas season should be your time. It’s phenomenal…if you can’t get to the show at least check out the music.)

Anyway…I wish there were a song for the day you take your fairy garden down. It was sad. It also marks the end of garden season which is a huge loss. Maybe I need to write the song: “I Cry the Day I Take the Fairy Garden Down.” Sad, sad occasion. Look for my musical in the future.

Here are some pics of said garden. Now you will also feel sad that it is taken down. It’s okay to cry…(I just told my son that after he asked if it was okay to cry. Maybe he is also worried about me.)

Coincidence?

Sometimes life is weird and things happen that make you say hmmmm…as C+C Music Factory sang so eloquently in the 1990s.

I have been thinking a lot about a very dear friend recently. He used to work at my school and he gave me a present when he retired, which seemed very generous and opposite of what should happen. (I should have been giving the present.)

Anyway, I found the comfy sweatshirt he gave me this last week and it was perfect timed for me getting all Hygge. The same day I wore the sweatshirt, I ran into him in the parking lot at school…coincidence? I think not! Also…it is Veterans Day next week and a picture of him appeared on display at work…love these little coincidences!
