That’s so cool! Can’t wait to see the finished look.. though I’d hang it just the way it is... I’m fond of the unfinished look as well!

Unfinished looks fine, but a plain wooden Xmas ornament is well, “plain”. The wood itself was nothing exotic with lots of grain to highlight..... so, some faux gold leaf & glitter adds some pizazz.

We don't do thanksgiving dinners here. We only do Christmas. Which is expensive enough.

Ok.....but here are the countries other than US and Canada that celebrate a “Thanksgiving” holiday

Other countries that celebrate Thanksgiving include: Germany - they celebrate the Harvest Thanksgiving Festival in early October; Grenada - they celebrate Thanksgiving Day on October 25th; Korea - they celebrate Korean Thanksgiving Day in late September or early October; Japan - they celebrate Labor Thanksgiving on November 23rd; Liberia - they celebrate Thanksgiving on the first Thursday of November; and Norfolk Island celebrates Thanksgiving on the last Wednesday of November.

Good Morning Roomies :)
It"s good not to see you all. I have a new lap top, so I have easier access to the internet. woohoo!
How the hell are you??

The new laptop should help you out a lot. Sunny and cool here this morning. Blue sky too. Tomorrow it should be just a tad over 60F, so I think I’m going kayaking. Spot some migratory waterfowl as they rest here along the Chesapeake Bay.

Hi roomies. How is everyone doing this lovely day? No idea what the temp is like here yet. I hope all of you have a fantastic day
After I fed, watered and cleaned up after the tortoises, my fantastic day included climbing up a ladder onto the roof and cleaning off my solar panels. My legs will be sore tomorrow. I don't think I climb properly as I'm always real sore the next day. Now I'm going to feed my faithful companion, Misty, then myself (today I'm having a Hungry Man frozen enchilada dinner) and then I'll pick up my latest D i c k Frances book to read. I may nap too.

Busy time of the year! Brumation, leaves, cleaning up gardens. I’m out in our back woods chsinsawing the tops of the trees i trimmed a few weeks back & shredded. These tops are the nasty bits with all kinds of old past growth, and too large to prune.
I’m almost done, one to go (the largest & gnarliest). Maybe I’ll build a fire.

I guess I'm doing the Norfolk Island Thanksgiving then because that's the day I'm cooking it. Leftovers...so I'll be thankful the following day too.

Here’s a quick pix of the two Xmas ornaments done so far. Can’t tell from the angle, but they are both about 6 inches long, tip to tip. Ae need a tree up now to hang!

They're just really pretty. With the finish sparkling in the lights...even better.
