Saturday: brunch, leftovers, visitors
Nov. 30th, 2019 11:00 pmTwo visitors showed up and we all trooped over to Trails End for brunch. It was pretty good. I had a praline coffee drink with oat milk that was phenomenal. The grain bowl is fine. Very quiet, which is nice.
Then we returned home, and were joined by 2 more. The first 2 left, then one of the newer arrivals left to retrieve his gf from the bus station. We had a very nice dinner of leftovers, and a turkey and navy bean soup I had put together to have a Not Obviously T-Day Leftovers option.
T. nagged at me a bunch in the morning, and I had a meltdown, but the rest of the day was fine. Things got better when I had T. put together a small star wars kit that had been sitting around for years. It gave him something to do, and he got better at legos super fast, which was fun to watch.
We got the tree decorated (T. put the star on, as he is now tall enough to not need to stand on anything to reach), the mantel and stockings out after clearing the mantel off (this is a time consuming project I hate doing when there are people around, which was part of the meltdown). The house is now Very Seasonal.
