Things I Have Seen

  My Strange Life Improves with Age New Ipswich Historical Society

 Throwback Thursday Six years ago on this day we celebrated Thanksgiving at my son's house. I like it when the days in the current year line up with a previous year.  It makes it possible to recycle an older calendar. Puzzled My sister worked on a maddeningly difficult puzzle. I didn't even bother. Oyster Shells? Imagine that someone thought it was good idea to use oyster shells in the brewing process. Maybe they had so many of them they needed to find a purpose. A gimmick always helps for these micro-breweries. Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade The Macy's Parade big balloons used to be a standard when I was a kid and there were only three television channels. We watched it for  about ten minutes before becoming comatose with  the advertising. It seems that Christmas is just around the corner. Our "go-to" movie for Thanksgiving now is "The Godfather" because it is all about eating.

 On this day - November 23, 2018 I learned that "squirrel proof" only referred to the Gray Squirrel variety. The smaller Red Squirrel had no problem climbing through the barrier.
