I think ours is going to be chili size…ie, a can of chili over spaghetti, topped with jalapenos, cheddar, and a dollop of sour cream. This is Jane’s favorite, and I think I am just about able to deliver that. The traditional dinner just isn’t going to work, this year. But with the pond frozen, and the temperature dropping, I think most of our ‘tradition’ is going to be the chili, watching people use mediaeval weaponry to throw pumpkins, and starting to put up the Christmas tree and such.<\/p>\n
Jane had ordered a backup Wiishu—ie, a blank doll body\/basic painted faceplate that could sub for parts for Wiishu in the event of an accident—because I really, really do not want to cope with Jane’s upset should something happen to that little fellow who is so dear to her heart. Well, the blank doll came, and to our vast surprise and dismay, they’ve very subtly changed the facial ‘sculpt’ and the painting has changed. The body is ok, and good to have that—but the face is—shock—different. Jane is coping. But it is not what she actually hoped to get. Waa! <\/p>\n
She is, however, a very good painter, and sculptor, and because she is learning the art of these faces, I think she can change this little surprise into something more Wiishu-like—if need be.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, we’s curious. What’s everybody doing for Thanksgiving? Cooking? Eating out? Traveling? Having company?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
