Happy Thanksgiving, friends!

Here’s a little peek into what we’ve made a Saturday habit this November: it’s NANOWRIMO time. Lessa and Peppermist are taking part . . . I tag along to make fun of, erm, help them – yeah, THAT’s the ticket – HELP them.
🙂

I take pictures, offer suggestions for names for those pesky characters who simply MUST join in on the fun, wipe tears and offer giggles . . . I am the support system for the lessapeppernanogirls. Yes, yes, I am.

Did I mention I take pictures?




Here are the writers in full NANO-mode . . . add in some coffee and they are happy campers. Love Funky Monkey atmosphere and coffee. You should join us – you don’t even need to be writing – you can help me in the aforementioned support mode.

Yeah, support, yeaaaaaahhh . . . oooh, break for lunch. What are we having – and arent you wishing you had joined us now?

(more…)

Daughter called last night after leaving our house and asked – do you see what I see? Your snowman collapsed – check it out and see if you see what I do . . . .

hmmmmm – maybe, just maybe I do. How about you?
(more…)

are we . . . NOT! But now the song is stuck in my head.

Walmart People we are! And NO denying that we are related, either.

🙂

Up early to meet hubbymoose for breakfast – got him to bed (he worked all night) and then went to get my hair cut. Lovely visit with Ms. R who does my hair and then back home to quietly ponder what to do – what to do.

Text from lessa . . . she and daughter were headed to the Funky Monkey for NANO – did I want to come? My mission (should I decide to accept) would be to distract said daughter so lessa could get ahead of her in their NANO competion. Coffee would be waiting for me.

How could I say no to such a challenge? You’re right – I couldn’t.

Loaded up my computer – no, not doing NANO, but would be playing whilst they wrote. As I was loading up I got another text – the peeps at Funky Monkey want to know if YOU are wearing your hat, too. Sigh – trudge back into the house (trying not to wake up hubbymoose) to get hat and head off to da monkey.

There was some jostling of seats as we were all facing a very bright sun – but we got that settled – AFTER spilling the aforementioned coffee. Sigh – spill cleaned up and this is what people see when they enter the coffee house this morning:



Cute, huh? And . . . how’m I doing so far in distracting? Not too badly, friends – not too badly.

Speaking of distracting – this pic was taken during our first snow last week – young woman lives next door to us – only in Alaska, friends, only in Alaska.
