I do not know what makes me smile more… Your humorous illustrations or just the fact that your so freaking humorous. You are the lift in my day. Thank you
I think I can relate! This is a good chuckle for “the day after.” We had a family gathering that lasted two days. I feel like I was born in the Stone Age…
I’ll ask my tech guy. At 63 a generational tech gap exists and as retired and not in business or anything you get comfortable in a reduced portfolio kinda world. Even little things ya’ll youngins take for granted become just one more thing to keep track of for us AARPers and there is a limit or boundary that makes us want to not avail ourselves of such frivolous inventions as horseless carriages and talking wires. I don’t even have a cell phone. Never have.
I know, but did you see the “mammoth” portions the men ate this year? And with the magnificent job that you did on the stuffing this year, it should be gone by the vernal equinox, at the latest.
HaHa! Certain things in the distant past did come in extreme sizes and portions, including thanksgiving servings in the way, shape and form of ‘stuffed turkey’, stuffed mammoth and other stuffed megafaunas during the ‘beast feast’.
No wonder it took forever to cook and consume, not to mention having to deal with the long wooly hair all over the huge prehistoric beast . . . . . .
