Monday Stuff On the Way To Other Stuff: Heading Home

 It's time to hit the road. The Mama's Christmas tree is up, and her list of chores is almost done. (The Brick did his share. I should have painted the garage door before it got so cold -- red face. It will have to wait until spring.) Presents are wrapped, with some to take back to the kids, along with two bushels of dark red King David apples. The truck is back from the shop. (Two new batteries, plus a thorough checkup.) We did some work yesterday, but have a few more hours before the trailer's hooked up. 

Then it's on to Colorado -- and home. 



Meanwhile:

Twelve of Colorado's strangest rock formations -- including the butte above our own beloved Castle Rock!  (From Out There Colorado)

A pumpkin pie milkshake -- and a great way to use up leftover pie. I wonder if it would work with pecan pie, assuming we actually HAVE leftovers some day...  (From One Hundred Dollars A Month)

'Free' Christmas presents that will help your strained budget.  (From My Abundant Life)

Denver, CO's mayor tweets to remind people to stay home over Thankgiving -- then 30 min. later, takes a plane to visit his family in Mississippi. ('But I would have had to stay here alone!' he explains later. Ummm....when did his wife and daughter get to Mississippi, then?)

A rare gold bead from the First Temple Period -- found during the sifting project for Jerusalem's Temple Mount. It was in such good condition that the supervisor thought it was a modern discard at first!

See what happens when you eat bad pears?

Researchers find fungi, bacteria and human DNA (maybe his?) on Leonardo daVinci drawings. Gross, but interesting.

Seattle homeowners are being told they will be evicted -- by a group using phony papers. 

Homemade sausage meat -- no additives.  (From Supermom - No Cape


Have a great week. 


A resemblance to Charley?? Naah.
