Many tedious hours later the toxic yellow smoke (?) and charred metal were cleaned out of the oven and a new element installed, the yams and rolls baked, and Thanksgiving was on.
We had so much snow that the girls went sledding.
While they were outside I snatched a few moments to work on my Thanksgiving socks (still only one done).
And then we played with our new family member, whose name is longer than she is. She’s Maria Estrella, a baby guinea pig.
Maria loves oranges, cuddling, and at present writing is ill with a respiratory ailment and is on antibiotics. This is a dangerous state for a little guinea pig, so we’re all quite worried about our little friend and hope she improves quickly.
