Hometown Chow

Yes, there really is sauerkraut on my pizza.

It was delicious.

Thanks for the Love

I've eaten nothing but pizza for more than 24 hours. Prior to the pizza binge I consumed mostly  coconut cake. But what's really sustaining me is family, friends, and you, dear readers.  I have been lavished with well wishes, reaped the benefits of your physical labors, baked for, and served a fabulous breakfast the morning that the movers arrived (my only nutritious meal in recent memory.)

I'm lying in bed with the heating pad on my back as I type this post, but  I feel drenched in sweetness.

Thank you.

Moving On

The movers arrived shortly before 9:00. By 4:45 all of the furniture was unwrapped and set in place. My garage is a heap of confusion. The kitchen is a mess. There may be a lamp shade missing.

I'm exhausted.
But Piper, my 18-yr-old cat, seems to have barely noticed that she's been plucked from one location and deposited in another. At my old place she hung out under the sink in the powder room. Here, she's already looking comfy under the sink in the laundry room.

My first dinner in the new place:

It just might be breakfast tomorrow, too.

Who are you and what have you done with Denise ?

I've been enjoying the world of linked blogs. It's a whole new world when you dip into a stranger's blog. I've participated in Blog Gems a few times. And have again this week on their vacation theme.

I don't think I have the ability to channel Pollyanna every week. But I am looking at the Reasons to be Cheerful linky from a blogger in England.

Really, it's me here. Really.
And here goes.
1. I am visiting my mom. Time and money have allowed me to do so.
2. My brother took off work today to drive her to the doctor even though I am here. He did so because I was uneasy about driving his truck in unfamiliar territory in iffy weather. And he did it with good cheer.
3. We had pizza for dinner and sat around the table talking about all the dogs we've ever had and I think my mom really enjoyed the conversation.
