What Maxine thinks about Thanksgiving

I don’t know about y’all but with Thanksgiving tomorrow,  it’s hard to have my brain tied up in Blogosphere.  I know some of you will putter around the Internet and there’s certainly nothing wrong with that.  For those of you who happened by this morning, I decided to let Maxine share how she really feels about the season of Thanksgiving or more precisely about other people, especially her family. 

Maxine is always good for a few laughs.  Moving along, last Wednesday Joyce mentioned in her Wednesday Hodgepodge post that she’s taking this week off for obvious reasons of course, which gives me the chance to respond to last week’s Q&A session and it’s a perfect tie in with Thanksgiving.  

1. It’s often said we should be grateful for small blessings. What is one small blessing you are feeling especially grateful for today? I’m very thankful for a small fix.  Last week, DH noticed a problem with one of his crowns covering an implant during breakfast and sure enough, it came off.  This isn’t uncommon for him but it always sends up red flags.  Luckily, he was able to get with the dentist the same day.  There was no hidden problems, so all that was needed was for him to glue the crown back on to his dental post. A small fix but a big blessing!

2. How do you feel about leftovers, not just on Thanksgiving but after any meal? Favorite thing to make/eat using your Thanksgiving leftovers? I absolutely love leftovers!  This means I don’t have to cook if I don’t want to.  It’s great having foods I can easily reheat.  As for making anything out of Thanksgiving leftovers, it’s a perfect meal anytime!

3. Sherwin Williams unveiled it’s 2022 Color of the Year-Evergreen Fog. Are you a fan? Would I find this mid-tone gray green shade anywhere in your house? Does your house need painting? Inside or out? What one space is most in need of a paint job? Are you a do-it-yourselfer or do you hire a professional? Nope, I don’t like gray paint inside the home but I’m not a fan of colors that deviate from white or beige for the interior.  I prefer light colors to make the room brighter.  Our walls are definitely in need of painting and if we were to do it, then the job falls on us.

4. What is one aspect of the way you were parented that you are grateful for today? My parents paddling my behind or giving me a good switching when I needed it.  It taught me there are consequences to my actions like nothing else.  

5. Write an acrostic for the word-thankful

Trees, the beautiful fall trees changing colors painting the hillside

Home, despite the cramped conditions it’s always home sweet home

Another day, to share with those I love

Nudges that direct me frequently to do things without a reason why, except I know I should listen to that little quiet voice

Kindred spirits in this little box I call my computer who visit me daily

Friends and family, near or far fill my heart with unfiltered love

Unexpected blessings that makes me pause to utter a thank you to the One in charge

Leaves swirling in the wind, dancing gracefully to the ground

6. Insert your own random thought here. In coming up with my acrostic, I had an unexpected opportunity blessing to see this while out last week for DH’s dental appointment. 🙂

I’m putting my Wild Wednesdays linky party on hold until after the new year.  Life is busy so it’s best just to go with the flow, enjoy the moments, and have a little fun.  

I’ll leave you with a marvelous YT playlist to get you ready for tomorrow as you browse online or perhaps while you busily work in the kitchen.  Hit play and let the music pace your step!  Tomorrow, I have some music to publish for those needing some ear candy to get them through the last minutes of preparation before everyone offers up their thanksgivings and dig into the feast, so if you’re around then tune in to CAAC.  Have a wonderful Wild Wednesday! X💋X💋, Cathy
