Got home from my Thanksgiving travels last night, and woke up to the first snow of the season falling outside my bedroom window.

I visited a Buc-ee’s for the first time ever today, and even knowing it was going to be huge, it was overwhelming! I swear I’ve been to Walmarts smaller than this!

Fun fact: the Minuteman Statue that memorializes the battle at Concord Bridge was sculpted by the same artist that made the Lincoln Memorial: Daniel Chester French (a distant cousin of mine, who looked a lot like my dad!) photo below is my dad and I from our visit in 2018

So. Huh. I guess it’s time for plan b on how I get ice cream tonight, because now I REALLY need chocolate ice cream.

Not only did the scoop break, but then I accidentally knocked my bowl off the counter and it shattered on the floor. 😩 😑

My town had our first ever Fall Fest on Main (a kind of street festival with lots of food trucks and vendors), and I worked our Girl Scout table with a few of our scouts this evening. We made friendship bracelets and had a color your own sticker activity for kids! Next year we need a bigger table!

Good friends, good food, good fire… and s’mores!! I hope you all have a lovely Labor Day Weekend! (Or just a regular weekend if you’re somewhere other than USA!)

Enjoying Monty Python and the Holy Grail at a drive-in under the stars tonight!

Did you know you can perfectly cook filet mignon in your air fryer?? Made this whole meal (filet mignon seasoned with salt, pepper, and Wauwatosa seasoning from Penzey’s, and lemon-balsamic broccoli and cauliflower) in my air fryer tonight and it is perfect. 👩‍🍳 😚 🤌🏻

Starting my summer reading with a new book I picked up yesterday: The Mesopotamian Riddle.

Anyone else heard of this or read it yet?

Hey there, @themerl.bsky.social! How are the ducks doing over there? I keep seeing a bunch in the creek near my house, and today I got a picture of one! A lovely female common merganser, paddling upstream, then standing on a rock. #UnsolicitedDuckPic

We are using some troop funds from last year’s cookie sales as part of a service project right now. My girls made cards to send to Girl Scouts affected by the California wildfires, and they are sending new vests and badges they selected to help replace ones girls lost. They set the budget, too!
