Apparently, my new Thanksgiving tradition is to have my Thanksgiving dinner on the Saturday after Thanksgiving.

Yes, it is Friday as I write this. I roasted the turkey (breast) today and it is sliced, sitting in au jus in the refrigerator. The bones are also in the refrigerator … they will be used to make bone broth later…

Wednesday, Thanksgiving Eve Day was full of electronic glitches … and then, when I came in with Emmett, from our before bedtime walk … water under the washer … gah! I mopped up the water and went to bed, hoping the problem would resolve itself.

Honestly! I have never known a “water leak” issue to resolve itself. I cannot believe I even had that thought.

Thursday morning: more water. I pulled out the washer and THANKFULLY, it was only an issue with the intake hose, which had burst. Easy fix. First, easy to shut off water to that hose, remove the hose and make plans to obtain a new hose on Friday (today). Which I did and have since installed, done a load of laundry and all is well: HURRAH!!!

Onward with Thanksgiving fun: Cranberry sauce, stuffing prep, pie crust…

The cranberry sauce!

While I was keeping an eye on the cranberry sauce, I worked on my afghan block. This was an especially fun block: 5 of 6 in my current order.

But, with the sauce and the block and after the relief that the plumbing issue was not a MAJOR plumbing issue… I ran out of steam for making “THE DINNER”.

I watched a lot of VendeeGlobe 2020 videos and some other sailing videos which I will share about in another post!

Wednesday’s electronic glitches were my Amazon Smart Plug/Alexa and new Bose noise cancelling headphone…

I don’t know if they were related, but I was not a fan of the headphone and so …

Return.

Meanwhile…

I keep laughing at Emmett peering around the corner to look for the squirrel… he waits and if it/one of them is there, he goes!!!

On our walk…

It was overcast, but gorgeous light!

So.

After returning the headphone, and after seeing a few videos from youTube people I follow:

I finally, after looking and watching and thinking and dreaming ….

ordered a drone:

That is not my hand … DJI image of DJI: Mini 2.

It should arrive 12/4 ish.

I have watched a number of “how to fly DJI Mini 2” videos. It might be 2021 before you see anything. We will see.

YIKES!!

As I write this, it is Friday, almost 3:00 p.m.

Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow: Saturday. My new Thanksgiving Tradition.
