My dad is the same age as those beautiful ladies! Can you imagine? He is having a hard time figuring out doorknobs these days, and Dolly is on international tours!

Good morning!
My neighbors across the street have the most adorable Charlie Brown and the Peanuts gang hammered metal Christmas display in their yard. Last night, it disappeared and I was texting them and screaming "Where is Charlie Brown?". I was text the husband and he's out of town and the wife was at an event. He and I went to our beds thinking People Suck. This morning, Charlie is back! Seems they blew over. My faith in humanity is restored and I feel like it's going to be a pretty good day.
I did really well all day yesterday. Giving myself an A. I got a hard, fast walk in and stayed out in the street until I hit the 3 mile mark. I desperately needed an afternoon snack yesterday, so that is why I am not getting an A+. But I chose well for the snack and all my meals.
My Dad arrives today for about 10 days. My kitchen is stuffed with things to make for him and I have a short list of stuff I forgot that I hope to grab after the gym today. I'm planning on going to the gym and doing 30 minutes on the treadmill and then try their circuit training they have set up. All new to me. I'm hoping it's as open as usual so I'm not in anyone's way. Roger was supposed to go with me but he's got an awful cold. I just made him test for Covid because of Dad. And he's negative.
QoTD: I opted out, so I'm going to enthrall you with photos of our extremely large camp fire from last weekend's campout, a photo of proof that we get leaf drop here and a photo of my TJ pesto chicken dish.
Foods today:
B: leftover pesto chicken and burrata dish
L: leftover pork chop and about 2 tablespoons of the white bean, cauliflower and butternut squash dish from TJ's. It was good, not fabulous and the white bean is an odd texture. I am having half a serving, so it's like 145 calories. That's a lot for a side dish for me.
Peace Everybody.

Can you remind me where you found that chicken recipe? I'm thinking it might be my NYD cooking (with your adjustments, lol)

Aloha!!!
QJB - that pic of you and Grim is adorable. It should be next year's xmas card.
I am very flattered that a lot of people thought I was their secret Santa.
Amy - I did not send the sling bags
Matt - I wasn't the oil truffle person
JB - guilty as charged =) I wasn't planning on it but the book literally jumped at me while xmas shopping. Even if we didn't have SS going I would have gotten it for you. In my head Dolly is forever associated to you.
My family was finally able to reach the house after the bridge was opened. We are together and the holidays commence. The kids were impressed with Xmas decorations.
Jim - Lego advent calendars were a huge hit. Thanks for the tip. DS got on it right away because he had to catch up for 20 days.DD is excited to catch up too.
QOTD: I think I have an idea who sent my presents to me. She is as sweet as her presents. I got sugar free croissants, chocolate spread, and mini wafers. Very typical of this person to get you something you love but also knowing your limits. No green couch for me after eating this bounty. I think my SS was Amy.
My meals yesterday:
- Coffee
- Açaí bowl
- Hawaiian bbq with shredded pork
- Xmas crack, macadamia nuts
- Skipped dinner
Happy Fri-yay! I might not post regularly while on vacay, so wishing everybody a very Merry Xmas and Happy New Year!
oldie but goodie
