White rabbits a bit late

I forgot my last post would appear on December 1, so here's my belated white rabbits for luck all month. White Rabbits!

I got a short walk this morning, and despite 32°f , it still looks like fall to me. 

I broke out the new long coat, seemed the right time. Nice and draft proof.

Saturday, among other discussions, I said since I definitely am not using serving pieces and a posh table anymore, I may as well Freecycle them. Offered them to HS, who said thanks but no thanks, so I've put them up. They might just be the thing for someone's Christmas table. 

Within an hour a nice lady wanted them all to share with her niece.  Good.

I'm rapidly finished the current gloves because I have plans for the new yarn and Tunisian crochet.

Later, here's the second one finished. 

The blue is brighter than it shows here. Pictures seem to pick up the grey more 

Now for the next plan.

And here's my December reminder to self 

Happy day everyone,  nature's slowing down, maybe we can, too.

Thankful for even more

While I was organizing the place for Thanksgiving Observed, a box arrived. It was the promised yarns 

All machine washable and dryable, so I can use them for gloves, socks, dolls for my various destinations without concern. I love those greens. And I can see great color combos in my future.

Then, there was this 

I love these stand up constructions, forget the technical name. This is a keeper. Such a good friend, generous too. More to be thankful for. Thank you, C.

Note added after departure of handsome son. Lovely afternoon of food and chat. The meal was fine and the cranberry sauce took serious inroads. Some went home with HS. Along with cheddar cheese. He declined veggies.  He left me extra pie, turkey slices, gouda cheese and breadsticks.  

There was a bit of comic relief in that he's got the aftermath of a virus, one ear blocked, while one of my hearing aids, Ruth, to name the  culprit, suddenly went on strike. So two semi deaf people had a fairly fractured convo.

I cleaned Ruth, changed her hearing dome and filter, switched her on and off, learned to reboot her, did so.  No effect, still low level correction. Sooooo I'll call the audiologist Monday for further steps.

If anyone else has good advice on a rechargeable Phonak aid, please speak up. Loudly. Thank you.

Happy day, everyone, I said happy day, everyone.
