Happy Veterans Day to my veteran! We were out on the golf course, enjoying this gorgeous November weather we're having.
This last week, we also went to a good movie. "Jimmy" is about Jimmy Stewart and the years he spent as a pilot for the Army Air Corps during WWII. We learned a lot about him, and came home wanting to know more. He experienced PTSD after flying 20 bombing raids over Germany - and people didn't understand what that was back them.
My book club met this week, and I always enjoy that. This month we read The Boy from the Sea, an interesting story about life in an Irish fishing village in the 1980s and one family in particular. The story has sort of a melancholy feel to it.
I tried a new vegetable dish this week, as a request from Mike (who is not generally a very good vegetable eater, lol)! He saw it on a Facebook reel, so I watched that and then googled a recipe. It turns out there are many out there! Here's a link to one: Smashed Broccoli with Parmesan
I liked it! Not sure the other family members did,
but that's okay!
😜
Hope you're having a great week!

Happy Veterans Day to your veteran--thank him for his service. Most schools in our area of Ohio celebrate veterans and have programs. I was disappointed that the school where I subbed yesterday did not even mention it. SAD! Students should know what that means. Next year I will be armed with my own coloring sheets if I know that is going to happen.
Happy Veteran's Day to Mike. The weather has been gorgeous, though the cool down feels extreme after the warm summer we had here. Hope you have many more days to enjoy the golf course before the snow gets here.
Please thank Mike for his service, and thank you for being a supportive wife to him! Glad you got some golf in, that looks like fun. I'd love to see the Jimmy movie. We saw a preview, and the guy who plays him nailed that distinctive "Jimmy" sound.
Many thanks to Mike for his service. The movie sounds good. I saw a similar reel about the smashed broccoli recipe. I think I would enjoy it.
Kuos to Mike for alerting you to that way to "try" broccoli! I bet it was good . , after all, cheese on most anything has to be good. . .right? Also please thank Mike for his service.
Our book club met yesterday and discussed Kitchen Daughter. I'm still reading it, but hearing others' comments is helping me understand it better.
I saw some previews on line about Jimmy and had heard some of his military service awhile ago in an old interview I was watching.
Giggles, my hubby is not a fan of veggies either. Whenever I make something meatless he tells me it would make a good side dish!
Thanks Mike for your service! Those smashed broccoli look like some creatures on the seabed floor. LOL
