Like I said, I am moving in with Marty! I will be finished packing sometime in the near future! lol

You might be better moving in with my non-binary friend, Jordan. They created and cooked the homemade lasagne.

When my stepson started coming around me after my husband (his dad) died, He started listening to things I say and he told me, "WOW! Dad taught you some of his come back tricks! You can now come back at us and just jump in when we pick on you to let us know that you love us teasing but can take care of yourself by saying things to us that we know is just teasing and not serious." I was proud of the fact my late husband did that for me and I learned his tricks!

Unless he is actually just haunting my body and helping me out! "SHIVERS"

I'm doing really good, thanks for asking, Albert.

I had homemade lasagne for dinner.

I made a curry with leftover turkey and veggies from Thursday.  It came out delicious

[Sherye Story Reader]

Well, the cold weather here does not like my stepson's truck. I had to give his truck a jump. Then told them they had to move that huge stump out of the way so I could drive through to go back under my carport. I told them it had to be moved so I could get through the area so I would not hurt another tire.

My husband, friends, and I were driving around one time in town and I went down the wrong street cause I missed my turn. So I turned around in a auto part store that was closed down that day, which was a Sunday, and I heard hissing and I stopped the car and I had to have them change a tire. We had the tire fixed and he told everyone, teasing me all the time, 'that Sherye is the only person I have ever seen that can find a bolt and it puncture a tire'. 

So the moral of this story is I am the magnet for bolts! lol

Huh?  Hey, Bucket man!  

Country towns try to make themselves a bit more exciting. I stopped in Waroona (home of the glamour cow) because it has a community art gallery. If nothing else it makes the drive more interesting.

I just finished a heap of laundry... my sheets, pillow shams, and comforters to get rid of all the germs... and Cookie's blanket.

I drove 50 miles or so today to be part of a surprise for a friend of mine who had been nominated for, and won, an award with Volunteer Ireland for the work she does for the LGBTI+ community in the west of Ireland. Normally these awards would take place at a special ceremony in Dublin at the start of December each year, but that couldn't happen this year because of Covid restrictions. I had received word through Volunteer Ireland that she was to receive a surprise delivery today, which would include her trophy, a letter from Volunteer Ireland sharing some of the amazing things that were said about her in her nominations, as well as a note from the Irish President, Michael D. Higgins, and a hamper of goodies to celebrate with.

As I was driving down, and for the first time ever during Covid lockdowns, I was actually stopped at a Garda (Irish Police) checkpoint. I was worried that I would be told to turn back, as I was no longer in my own county at the time. I put my facemask on before opening the driver door window, and reached for my wallet to get my driving licence out. The gard was actually quite friendly and, when he saw the wallet, jokingly told me I only needed to give him one fifty euro note! I just showed him my licence, and when I told him where I was going, and why, he simply sent me on my way (whilst pretending to be upset that he hadn't got his fifty euros).

The look on my friend's face when the surprise was sprung was brilliant! I waited outside her house and started videoing when the delivery driver knocked on her door. Volunteer Ireland had asked myself and Jordan to take videos for them to use when the awards are made public in December.

Jordan had made sure our friend would actually be at home at the time of the delivery by arranging to call round with homemade lasagne for them to have for lunch. 

Several hours later, she was still claiming she didn't deserve the award. The few of us there just kept saying "Nonsense! Of course you do!"

It was a good day! One that helped lift some of the funk that I have been feeling over the Covid situation recently!

I don't think I've had Salisbury steak since I was a young lad in school. Not something Mum would make. She did make Swiss steak every so often.

Sounds like an awesome day. Flirting with a sexy police man, giving him your name, seeing your friend win her award, a good day indeed.

I have some pictures of a hay bail Santa and other Santa’s invading a small town. I will show great restraint and not post it until Tuesday when it will be December 

It is good to see some cheer around
