Hey Kevin--I am sorry to hear about your loss. The Universe can be a real jerk face weasel at times. I hope you’ve mastered the art of crossing the seasonal minefield. I see your toxic trait, but choose to believe you are simply dessert exclusive! Pie gets it. No hard feelings! 😉
As for dessert, I can be quite exclusionary. The one carve out (heh) I'll make is for a place called the Norske Nook. It's between here and Minneapolis, and I'm pretty sure it's against the law to not have a piece of pie if you stop there to eat.
Update: my mom managed to bring up both an ex-girlfriend, and talk at length about plane crashes tonight. As you can imagine, it was a hoot. Totally throwing the “I don’t have it” card next year.
Wow! Did not have “obsessive discussion about plane crashes” on my Thanksgiving Fatigue Bingo Card! I hope there is a ton of “comfort vinyl” in your Black Friday future!! 😉
It makes for a great post-holiday debrief. If you ever end up doing standup....that material is gold, Jerry! gold! Happy shopping..I look forward to reading all about the spoils of your vinyl haul! :)
Dude, just finished this article and dang girl! I snarfed out loud and had to quickly backpedal to my familia about “what’s so funny”… Nothing to see here 😵💫😵
Also, I’m thrilled our unique blend of obnoxiousness and humor have been fueling your diary posts…erm, um, I mean your serious articles. Your heart is true, you’re a pal and a confidant. 💕 🎵
Sheila, everything in here is spot on. With the possible exception of the exchange between Boris and Natasha, or maybe I was just too distracted by the beauty in the photos to pay attention. Anyway, "I just don't have it" is the sentence I am going to remember and use whenever I need it. I wish you peace this season. I hope they treat you gently.
Sending the same right back at you Elizabeth. Don’t we all need a little mercy now (as the song goes). It is definitely hard & brave to honor your heart, but the older I get, the more I know it is absolutely vital. Rest & breathe easy this holiday! 🙏🏻💗
Stunning photos, Thank you for sharing! My favorite is pie for breakfast especially Oatmeal Pecan Pie because the name is like a peppermint pink permission slip to do so. 😋

Ooooh...a speedy google has me salivating for the mile-highs pictured on their website. Agreed. Rules are for bending when necessary. ROAD TRIP!!!

Lol. Yeah, that was one I absolutely did not see coming.
So, so much vinyl in the cards today!

It’s gold, Jerry! Gold! Take a back seat, Lof-the Sweeney Sisters are BACK!! Clang, clang, clang went the trolley...🥸😘
Beautiful pics!
I lost my dad a couple of days after Christmas as a kid, and can confirm that it too is a 0/10 situation.
P.S. "Griswolded" is my new favorite term.
P.P.S. My toxic trait is that I don't like pie. Like, at all. I know! I know!

Haven’t either of you numbnutkins noticed the plastic gnome at bottom left in the roots of the Yum-Yum tree? An enemy surveillance post, idiotaskis!>
Uh-oh!!! They will have to deeper under cover. Next posting: Walmart greeters!! Tell no one! 😉

Thanks Shire! You’re fab! I am drooling just reading the name of that pie and can practically smell it! Enjoy every bit & report back! 🙏🏻💗
