I had the best vegan thanksgiving meal with drink pairings and I’m feeling so good right now. So I’ll tell you I love you all!!
A vegan appetizer plate with fig salami, vegan cheese ball, vegan rolls and vegan mushroom pate. Delicious. Chestnut and Brussel sprout soup with basil oil drizzle. A glass of Beaujolais. An entree of seitan roast with porcini mushroom with cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes and gravy, cornbread stuffing, and green bean casserole.

The view of Mendocino from the patio of our rental while I drink my coffee this morning. This does not suck.

Happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate.

If you’re not celebrating, happy Thursday! If you need or want a mom hug today, I’m happy to assist. 🫂 #thanksgiving
A view of the town of Mendocino from across the cove of Big River. The ocean is rolling with small waves and the sky is clear but for a few whispy clouds.

I’ve been wanting to go to the Lightscape show at the San Diego Botanic Garden for years. This year we were here while it was happening and I got us tickets. It was magical and I’m so happy right now.

Did I have fun at the safari park? Yes, I did. Did I cry seeing all the beautiful endangered animals? Also yes. Did I discover you can buy a refillable cup for beer and drink too much? Maaaaybe. Overall, it was wonderful and I would totally go again.

My other reason Anza Borrego is my favorite is Galleta Meadows. Miles of metal sculptures around Borrego Springs by Ricardo Breceda. This is a small bit of what we stopped at this visit.

Monday’s adventure - my favorite hike at my favorite park. The Palm Oasis hike at Anza Borrego Desert State Park. It was beautiful but it was so hot and I was not prepared. I bonked after - dehydrated and shaky. Made it back to our rental so now I need to eat and rest up for tomorrow.

Today’s adventure was a 5 mile hike from crest to coast. Through wetlands and to a dog beach. Best day ever. So many happy dogs. My face hurts from smiling so hard. Great first hike of the vacation.

This is one of my coworkers dressed as a pirate too. We had matched facial tattoos! Izzy fan? I should ask. Also my best attempt at taking an old man selfie. And my favorite house decoration. This was all they had up and it was great.

Had so much fun trick-or-treating last night with my grandson. He was dressed up like a tornado. It was the coolest costume and he got so many compliments. The neighborhood we went to did adult trick-or-treating too. I got three margaritas. Pirate costume ended up really nice and surprisingly comfy.
Me in my pirate costume. White shirt, brown corset and harness, and red underskirt with a black skull and crossbones flag over top. Me showing off my Izzy tattoo. Me holding up my second red solo cup in front of a brightly decorated house. My grandson in his tornado costume. It is tule spray painted gray that starts around his shoulders and goes to a point at his feet. Attached in random areas is leaves, trees, and small dollhouse furniture and is decorated with flashing blue fairy lights.

Yesterday, I had Sean Astin sign my Tolkien Dictionary and I didn’t realize until I looked at it this morning that he signed “Sam” at the bottom. Imma go cry again! 🥲

Pics from my weekend. A 2 hour spin-a-thon on Friday for Pink October. Saturday was a 4.65 mile hike in the Tahoe National Forest. Now if I could get my left calf from cramping, that would be great.
