Alternative Meals


Thanksgiving is nearly upon us, and in some homes that means more than just the traditional items we all love. Every family has it’s members, usually the younger ones, who refuse to eat what everyone else is eating. They may eat anything and everything all year round, but soon as there is a family gathering, they only like dinner rolls, peanut butter and jelly and chicken nuggets. These were the alternative meal items available at our grandmothers house if you did not want what everyone else was having. You were also welcome to a cheese sandwich, but it was not going to be grilled.

Fon Due


We have to admit that we have always gotten great giggly enjoyment about saying the word fondue. When we were younger, the giggles came because saying ” Oh Fon Due!” was technically not cursing. While we did not get in trouble for saying it, we did still get a look that told us it was not appropriate language for children.

Sunrise or Sunset


When looking at an image, how do you tell if you are looking at a sunset or a sunrise ?

Short answer is, without additional information, you can’t. If you are familiar with the location in the image, and can have a general sense of what direction the image was taken/painted from, then you can more likely make a better guess than if you don’t. If the image includes a notable landmark, you could discern the direction based on that landmark. If you know a particular house faces east, you are not going to see the sun rising in the background, as that would be the west, for example.

In general terms, sunrises tend to comprise of gentler colors of light pinks and lavenders as well as peaches. Sunsets would include bolder and richer shades of red, orange and pink. This is not by any means consistently true, but in general terms. The reasons being on the scientific spectrum.

At sunrise generally the air is cooler, and there is less dust and particulates in the atmosphere, thus giving the suns light less to refract. Less particulates, less color. Alternately, at sunset, the sky has been warmed all day long and has more dust and particulates to give bolder and deeper coloring.

Holding Out


Tis the season for Christmas Decor, but as in real life, not everyone jumps on the holiday decorating train. We are one of those houses. While the outside has lights and two 4 foot inflatables, that is simply because our adult son takes care of outside decor. Inside, well, we have a Gnome for the Holidays wood sign hanging in the kitchen and there is not likely to be much more except for the 2 foot sound activated dancing tree, also our son’s doing. We just are not holiday people when it comes to decorating our RL home.

So in honor of us non-decorators, I bring you the Naturi – Lucca Living Room Set available at EBENTO. Also, Lagom has these perfect for any home built in shelve units that really do look amazing in any style of home thanks to the handy HUD !

Trial Run


Days of Thanksgiving #19.

Today we are thankful for being fortunate enough to not worry about affording to cook a holiday meal. There was a time, when we were a young single mother, when that was a very real worry, and not just at holidays. Thankfully, we were able to get through that time, and come out the other side better, and wiser for it.

With just a few days left until Thanksgiving here in the US, we would like to encourage you to make a donation to your local food bank or community pantry, to give a little help to those who would really like to be able to give their kids happy holiday traditions too.

As far as the SL dining, I can not even tell you how much we love this Kane Dining Set from Zaker. With multiple color options, it is an easy fit for any decor.

Mine

So much is written about the power of 4 letter words. Love, being the biggest of them, but I am sure you can think of a few others yourself. Today I am talking about the simple word ‘Mine’.

So much power comes from this word. No matter if you are the one saying it, or the one hearing it, there is a flood of emotion that comes with it. Just like any other powerful thing, its power can be used for good or evil, depending on the one wielding it. When used for evil intents, it can damage beyond measure, but when used for good, with love powering it, nothing else can compare.

When that power is balanced in both directions, “You are Mine, as I am Yours”, the results are something more spectacular than any fireworks show.

This lovely Bella Wedding Set from Second Nature Jewellery, is perfect for sealing the deal, while the Mine pose from HexPosed, shows it off. Pose was slightly edited to adjust left hand position.
