Bread turned out lovely last night (Grandma’s dinner roll recipe), bird has a couple more hours in the oven, and sides will start later.

Happy day, turkeys! 🧡🍗🦃

Watching Empire Strikes Back on TV.
Captain Needa says “I shall assume full responsibility for losing them, and apologize to Lord Vader.” Whoopi Goldberg as Oda Mae Brown in Ghost. “You in danger, girl.”

Meme. A cat in a blue suit sits at a table, reading a newspaper with a teacup in the foreground. Text along the top reads “I should rewatch Scream Queens.”

A small black lab mix puppy stares at the camera. An orange treat dispensing ball toy sits next to her on a black and white checkered kitchen floor. Zoolander meme. The kibble is inside the ball!

Photo of a small black lab mix puppy laying on her belly on top of a fuzzy gray dog bed inside a wire crate. She has been caught mid-yawn and is showing off her big adult front teeth. Her nose is scrunched, her eyes closed, and her tongue is lolling out the side of her mouth. She looks ridiculous and possibly possessed.

We saw two bunnies on our walk last night!
Photo of a black lab mix dog in the foreground, facing away and to the left. In the background, only a few feet away, sits a brown bunny rabbit. The photo was taken during dusk and the colors are a little blown as the camera compensated for the low light.

Homemade Weathered Fedoras and Indy movies on the TV (honestly, a normal weekend for me, but tonight we’ll say “Happy birthday Harrison Ford!” 🥳)
A glass with a whiskey cocktail in it. There is one large ice cube, shaped like a D20 because I ran out of spheres and had to make more, and there is a dusting of cinnamon and nutmeg over the top of the ice cube and liquid.

Chilling on the deck with Ripley
Photo of a black lab mix dog, her muzzle white with age, laying on a green dog hammock. In the foreground is a brown woven deck table. On the table rests a copy of The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire, the Star Wars history book by Dr. Chris Kempshall. Next to that sits a pink can of hard cider in a black koozie decorated with a skull and crossbones.

What’s a poster you had in your room growing up?

I wasn’t allowed to hang anything on my walls so this was an act of teenage rebellion.

Ripley got to go on a hike yesterday and was pretty happy about that!
A black lab mix dog with white fur on her snoot stands in a wood. She is wearing a green and white plaid harness and a pink leash. Her tongue sticks out of her mouth and she looks happily tired.

3.8 miles yesterday and 2.8 miles today! Ripley got to choose the route both walks.
A black lab mix dog with a dusting of white fur on her snoot and wearing a green and white plaid harness. She lays on a gray wood deck, her tongue a pop of pink as she pants from her walking adventure. She looks tired and happy.

My Stormie. My soulpup. We had to say goodbye 31 weeks ago. He was the smartest, funniest, best dog ever. Sterling looks so much like him, if I wasn’t in a different state… 🩷

Three years ago, in a galaxy far, far away, we were heading to the spaceport on Chandrila…

Has anyone else noticed how Chandrilan clothing and the Chandrila Star Line uniforms share a color palette (blues, bronze/gold/orange)? Even SK-620 wears similar colors.

Image from Star Wars Andor. Mon Mothma with her family, dressed in robes (gold, blue, white). Mon Mothma and Vel, hiking on Chandrila in a wedding ritual. Dressed in more outdoorsy and casual robes than usual, but still featuring blues, tans, creams, golds. Wedding of Mon Mothma’s daughter, Lieda. Her and her groom are dressed in white and stand in the center of a room decorated with flowering vines. Their parents stand around them dressed in blue, gold, and bronze formal dresses and robes. On the outskirts of the ritual circle stand other family members, also dressed in this palette. Action shot of the Chandrilan wedding. Guests dance, arms waving, dressed in the blue/gold/bronze palette.

Excellent choice! I’m cracking up because I was about to post the 2017 version 😂
