Dindin has been ingested. OYKW left the house for a little bit sayin’ he had an important errand to run. Said errand turned out to be a Mrs. Edwards Lemon Meringue Pie. That shall be ingested in a while. Thus is life at da cave. ---

Well, Sis is feeling a bit better (enough to be a wiseass) so I’m not as worried. However, she’s wanting creative ideas to explain the scar (picture a tall, fairly large woman in her mid forties). My suggestion was alien birth by C-section, but noooo…she wants more creativity. Any suggestions? 😃 SIL and I went on our intended field trip today and just got back. Rambled around the Cumberland Plateau and made a few fun stops. Now, it’s off to karaoke with the heathens. **kopek** , I hope you’re feeling better soon. I will have to disagree with **Mooom** about the Can-Am. I rode on the back of one through the hills of east Tennessee afew weeks ago and it was FUN. The take curves more like a two wheeler than one with two in the back. They’d be awesome in the hills of Pennsyltucky. ---

> [@Seanette](#): > > Well, eating a relatively normal dinner (Jollibee’s hamburger-patty-with-mushroom-gravy and mashed potatoes meal) happened today. I’ve also eaten some of a rather light-textured cake. The mouth is healing! With any luck, I’ll be able to enjoy the pizza scheduled at work Saturday (reward for going a certain number of days without any lost-time injuries). Update on this one: pizza was doable. Needed to proceed with some care biting, but chewing was manageable, and what difficulties remained are ones I think will not continue to be a huge issue once healing is complete. ---

Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffienatin’. _YAWN_ ‘Tis 75 Amurrkin out with a predicted high of _ONLY_ 80 for the day with lots of rain accordin’ to the weather PTB. We shall see. **Red** I suggest Ninja street fight as an explanation. **Nettie** yay for pizza eatage! I have agreed to ush Luterun style this mornin’, thus we shall deheathenate at the nine o’clock service. VBS starts this afternoon at five p.m. This means I have to be back at the church house around three so sketties can be made for all the little rugrats for dindin. Tonight they get sketties, sallit, garlic bread and ice cream sundaes. Tomorrow is tacos so I believe I shall just go ahead and brown up the ground beast for that as well and add the taco seasonings. That should work. Ok, now I need more caffiene and need to consider what to feed rumbly tummy. Also, purtification for deheathenization must commence at some point. Happy Sunday Y’all! ---
