Just wanted to send a quick "Happy Thanksgiving" to my U.S. readers. My hubby and I's families live out of state and we aren't traveling, so we're eating at a local restaurant this year. After being on an anti-inflammatory diet since September, I can't wait to treat myself to some pumpkin pie,

Fall has definitely arrived in Delaware! I woke up to frost on the roof on Sunday morning, and my kitty Buddy (the one in my bio photo) keeps going in and out, in and out, in and out, hoping the temperature is going to be warmer. We take care of a feral cat colony at the end of our street, and two
