Last Thursday was Thanksgiving. It was a different kind of Thanksgiving. We only stayed for 3 hours. Usually, we stay for 6 or more, depending on. We played a game with mom. We ate. Tell you what eating at Thanksgiving used to be so stuff can’t move. Now it’s so puny. Korrie my new cousin made the turkey and there wasn’t much there. It was so pathetic. I am glad to leave only after 3 hours. Not a lot of people talking to each other either because the Packer game was on.

I finished this cute penguin.

Not a whole lot going on. It’s life. Let’s see….got two new video games. I got Cyberpunk 2077 for all of 25 dollars and Jeff got Sniper Elite 5 which was his Xmas gift because it was $85. Can’t get enough of Cybperpunk but also had to start over because the true fashion of Cyberpunk my save got corrupted. Ugh! Funny though I bought it on Amazon and it came with two discs. LOL! I can’t remember the last time a video game came with two discs.

Jeff is not a gamer and it’s like Jeff search, Jeff heal, JEFF!! LOL!!! I am like look there did you find first aid? Search for more people to get more ammo. LOL! But he said he liked that I pointed it out.

Today is Thanksgiving. It’s the same every year. Eating and playing family poker. I assume.

I was so sick last week. It sucked! Not Covid but a really bad cold. I still have the cough and the gross mucus. That part sucks too. I am on the mend.

When Tex was sick he got bored and licked all his fur off on his leg. What is with our dogs and legs? Anyways we have a moody dog on our hands. He has to keep a bandage on during the day and at night wear the cone of shame. lol!

Not much else going on. Going to see the parents on Sunday for the Packer game at their house. We are bringing Tex with us. It will be the first time in their home. My mom is super excited but my dad isn’t. Lol! Oh well! I am curious how he is going to act. He LOVES my mom.

It has been raining and storming all week. Our poor baby has been so scared this week too. Tex is not a storm dog. He actually hid in the shower and usually, he steers clear of that room. Understandably though since it’s the only room with no windows. Poor baby.

Last weekend we did Pumpkins here they are:

Jeff did the one on the left and I did the other two. Jeff couched me to do that one on the right. It turned out great. I honestly didn’t think I could do it.

We have two huge windows in our living room facing the street. I hate that we have them. They are nice but people think they can just come right up to those windows if I don’t answer the door. This guy knocked on the door and rang the doorbell and I didn’t want to answer. I don’t know this person or what they want. If I don’t answer go away. But not this guy. He came right up to the windows and knocked on the windows while peering in!!! WTF!!! I was sitting in the living room but that doesn’t give anyone the right to come and knock on the windows for my attention. I was so mad when I answered the door. He had gotten the wrong address. Still wtf?!

I almost died. (Again). Seriously I have almost died many times in my life. How am I still here? I am glad I am though. Anyway was eating dinner and I started choking, really badly! I almost had to have Jeff give me the Heimlich maneuver on me. It was crazy! But I was able to help myself. I am okay.

Tex is doing better. We were so worried about him. Just a little cough left. We can’t wait till he gets better.

Our baby Tex is sick. He has a kennel cough. Called the vet but couldn’t get in. But they did prescribe some coughing pills. Trying to make him feel better. He is eating and drinking and acting fine just coughing fits. We feel so bad for him.

We have a Dunkin’ in our town! Jeff went out of his way one morning and got me a coffee. I have to say they are just as good as the one we like in Green Bay. So excited. I can be excited for coffee. lol!

I finished these eyeball coasters. Turned out great!

I made this tiger too:

Well, my computer says no to the vacation video. Just too much for it to handle. Ugh! Seriously. Anyway just gonna post some pics of my faves instead here.

Dignity Earth was amazing! She’s so beautiful!

Prairie Dogs were the cutest and some you could walk up too

Mt Rushmore was cool to see. It was the hottest day though. So sweaty. lol!

At Custer’s state park, the donkeys came right up to the cars. Wish we had bought them something to eat. They were so cute.

The Badlands were our favorite. Can’t believe this used to be the ocean.

Driving through Needles Highway was amazing!

Ellsworth Outdoor Museum was very cool.

We had such a fun time. I can’t wait for another vacation.

I am back from vacation. It went too fast! Jeff and I had a wonderful time except hotels. The first hotel was gross! There was mold in the shower and nail clippings on the side of the bed. Yuck! Thankfully only had one night there and the hotel gave us our money back for that. These were all Hampton inns. The second one was so clean! It was a nice hotel and that is the one we spent most of the time 3 days at that one. The last one was gross as well. The chair in that room smelled like urine. We were so tired that got there around 11 at night and just wanted to sleep. So all night for me was urine smell and I didn’t get enough sleep. I’ll have to say that they couldn’t care less what condition the hotel was in for the last hotel.

I have to say this about South Dakota people in general are the nicest people ever! It was crazy how nice they were. I am making a YouTube video on vacation and I will leave it here. So, I can remember our wonderful vacation.

Went to my cousin’s wedding. It was nice. Everything was unconventional and I liked it. The actual wedding was all of maybe 20 minutes. The strange thing was the wedding was at 2pm but the actual dinner and dancing weren’t till 6. It was too much time in between. We left before dancing because our dog needed a potty. It was fun to see cousins who live in other parts of the USA. The place was pretty where they had it.

Then after that day, we went to Mom’s bday. It was supposed to be a lot of people but ended up being the same crew along with my aunt and uncle. Which was fine to me. Mom loved her pillow and we also gave her a Hobby Lobby gift card. It was a fun day. Then the day after we went on vacation.

Last week I couldn’t get myself together for some reason. It’s just one of those life things, I suppose.

Hmm, what happened last week. I went to the dentist for 5 mins. To get my nightguard adjusted. I was having some real pain in my upper jaw; all I could figure was the nightguard. It was that but now it hits in a different spot. I can’t get back in so, don’t tell my dentist. I am going to try and shave some off my guard by myself. Lol! It worked out! No longer is my nightguard hurting me.

My husband bought me 2 gifts! He’s so sweet. I really wanted a colorful hat. I was thinking of Green Bay Packers hats but none of them I liked or was colorful. Then he got me this:

I love it! Then he got me a shirt. It’s me and I find it funny!

ROFL! That’s me! I am a Dunkie Junkie. I love Dunkin’ coffee it’s so yummy!

Next week no blog post. Going on vacation! I can’t wait haven’t been on vacation for a long time.

It has happened. Jeff pierced my ears on Sunday. All good and they look nice. I got the smallest earrings too. I feel that would be perfect for healing and so far so good.

I made a pillow for Mom’s birthday. I have never made a pillow like this before. I think it turned out good.

I also made these coasters. The flag ones are my favorite.
