Having a great-niece and nephew live only two doors down brings back the "young kid" stage. Me and Harley worked diligently decorating the Christmas tree. Jason and MaKynzee sat back and watched while sipping tea and eating crumpets.

Known for their reimagined classics from the Disney songbook and beyond, the seven dynamic voices that make up DCappella are Sojourner Brown (Alto), Orlando Dixon (Baritone), Antonio Fernandez (Vocal Percussion), Morgan Keene (Soprano), Kalen Kelly (Mezzo), Joe Santoni (Bass)], and RJ Woessner (Tenor). DCappella represents a first for Disney, who launched the brand’s flagship a cappella experience in 2018 with a TV debut on “American Idol” during Disney Night, where the group performed classics from “The Little Mermaid,” “Beauty and the Beast,” “The Lion King,” and “Aladdin.” That same week, they graced one of Hollywood’s most hallowed stages to open Disney’s Beauty and the Beast Live in Concert at the Hollywood Bowl.

collection of classic and contemporary comfort food recipes, just perfect during the holidays.
recipe for Country Fried Steak and Gravy, from Calibama Cooking
Anybody who knows me can tell you that I rarely cook. It's usually my husband that makes the meals. When I get in the mood to cook or bake, it has to be something simple with ingredients that I can easily purchase. Even when it is my husband doing the cooking, I do the shopping and am always on the lookout for new recipes that will feed our large family at a decent price.
Calibama Cooking has a ton of recipes for delicious meals. The cookbook itself is hardcover and includes beautiful food photos. Recipes are divided into sections which include:
Small Plates and Starters
Soups, Chowders, and Stews
Main Courses
Seafood
Sides and Veggies
Breads
Sweet Stuff
A couple recipes that I will be making soon are Pumpkin Brown-Sugar Pound Cake (for our Christmas Eve dinner) and Cajun Chicken Pasta (because it sounds oh-so-good). The dishes sound and look so delicious, yet most of them are easy enough for me to make. To add a personal feel, Chef Lorious uses stories of her own of memories that include food.

TV Series Gift Idea - The Big Bang Theory: The Complete Series
Almost every night Jason and I watch reruns of The Big Bang Theory on TV. It's a show with episodes I can watch again and again. This long-run series has been a part of my life for a long time and I've enjoyed watching the characters and plots evolve.
If you like the show as much as I do, you'll be pleased to know you can get the entire series in a box set. This makes me happy for several reasons: 1.) I can watch the series in succession, from the beginning to the end. 2.) I can watch episodes I may have missed. Even though I've been following this show for years, I'm sure there are episodes I haven't seen yet. One of them is when Sheldon and Amy got married. Now I can see how that all panned out! 3.) The special Limited Edition Blu-ray Boxset comes in a beautiful lay-flat book with a fun pop-up and includes a digital copy. That takes it to a whole new level!
The Big Bang Theory: The Complete Series is available for purchase and would make a great gift for fans of the classic sitcom.
For years, fans have been delighted watching their favorite physicists Leonard (Johnny Galecki) and Sheldon (Jim Parsons) navigate the universe and everyday life along with Penny (Kaley Cuoco), and fellow scientists Howard (Simon Helberg), Raj (Kunal Nayyar), Amy (Mayim Bialik) and Bernadette (Melissa Rauch), as well as other beloved characters. The Big Bang Theory: The Complete Series, includes all 279 original episodes from 12 seasons of the top-rated sitcom, and is available for fans to own on DVD ($179.99) and a premium Limited Edition Blu-ray ($249.99 SRP). The complete set features nearly 12 hours of extras along with an additional disc including three exclusive and never-before-seen featurettes!
Are you a fan of The Big Bang Theory?
Who is your life would like to own the complete series?

Heck Of A Thanksgiving 2019

my granddaughter, Aryana
This year's Thanksgiving went over well. There was no family drama, the food was good, and there were quite a few people who attended. It's become a tradition to have Thanksgiving at my niece's home and this year was the same.
me and Jason
my oldest daughter, Shelby
After gorging ourselves on food, the kids ran around the house while the adults played several games of LCR (Left Center Right) with quarters and lottery tickets. I won $12 in quarters so can't complain there!
oldest son and youngest great-nephew
This picture brings me such joy, seeing these two play and laugh together.

Best of all (at least to me) my son, Adam, was able to come from Tennessee and spend time with us. It's hard having him so far away and I'm always stoked when he comes back to visit.
How did you spend Thanksgiving?
