I had popcorn for a snack Monday evening, forgetting that I had a teeth cleaning the next morning. My hygienist was thrilled that she would have something to look forward to...then disappointed that I had done a great job flossing.

You got this!

Comic with three otters: At the interview Steve is asked if he can perform under pressure. Steve is not 100% sure he knows all the lyrics...but he'll about to try his best.

Please post a photo. I love vintage Shiny Brites.

Looks delicious!

Wooden Christmas ornament with black and white Sasquatch drawing.

My tree is all decorated. This year the theme was woodland animals. I stand by my inclusion of Sasquatch. He is a woodland creature.

I got her through it. Then, I think she decided to get me through it. She got me through some dark days. Take things at your own pace. I couldn't take off my wedding ring for two years. Give yourself some time.

Glad you're taking care of yourself. I found routine helped. Also I had a dog to care for...no choice. I had to get up early in the morning and take her out for a walk, and feed her. She got depressed and sick when my husband died...almost lost her.

Sending love. I'm so sorry. It's not an easy thing. Do what is best for you. You'll find that there will be people you didn't expect to be there for you that step in to help. There will also be those that you expected would be there for you, and they aren't. Take it one day at a time.

Bangor?

The apple pie for dinner with a side of guacamole was excellent!

Working on pies for Thanksgiving. One is apple crumb, and the other is blueberry crumb.

Beautiful!

Sending love and hugs. It's so hard to see your spouse suffering. Remember to take care of yourself. Are you eating and getting enough sleep?

Mmm..I love boiled dinner. Enjoy!

Yes. The spaces are very narrow and not a lot of space to maneuver.

Morse's would probably have these.

If you are traveling: Veranda Asian Market of Forest Ave. in Portland, Now You're Cooking on Front St. in Bath, or Morse's Sauerkraut on Washington Rd. in Waldoboro(gourmet groceries and European deli).

I was going to suggest Penzeys as well for spices. Also Stonewall Kitchen has a lot of great products. They make my favorite espresso martini mix. Bonus is that they are from Maine.

I'm from Maine and I think it's a Maine term. My family always called it hamburg rather than ground beef.

He's very handsome.

Very. It is a mix from Stonewall Kitchen. It's an espresso martini mix to which I add chocolate syrup. It's excellent!

Just got done voting. Now, you go vote.

I made these chocolate espresso martinis as we wait for our trick-or-treaters.

Halloween decorations on a table including a pumpkin, crow, skull diagram, silver poison bottle, and a red bowl full of assorted candy.

We are ready for trick-or-treaters. We did quality control on the candy. It all passed inspection. @flannelforever.bsky.social

Happy Birthday! We really enjoyed our trip to Quebec. My partner @flannelforever.bsky.social and I stayed in the old city.

I finally have my Halloween tree done. Happy Halloween everyone!

Beautiful! Thanks for sharing how stunning our State of Maine is right now with everyone.

Congratulations! Love this for you.
