too many potatoes

this is when you know.

i put one in the oven one day and look what happened. is it art or a sign to change dietary starches? actually i turned the corner in a gallery and he was resting in a kiva. creeepy...

we brined the heritage turkey in the cooler. sure was yummy...

tubbery had a nice birthday and thanks you all for your greetings, cards and unexpected gifts.

tomorrow we go to the hemotologist. i'm on winter break and franco's in town, feebird just left. it's been wonderful to be with family even though i get to be a bit of an emotional case as does happen during the holidays... and other days in between. sorry i have had no time for cards, emails, or winter greetings, but i do think of you all very often.

on another note, n's friend jeff the treasure hunter came over with some goods to show including:
-one bowie knife with an ivory hilt carved into a mexican highwayman complete with bandolero and the seal of mexico on his fitted coat (sorry, no photo-- it was incredible)
-one spanish pistol decorated with silver dragons and morrocan-influenced scroll work (n is holding above)
-one native american fetish-- a piece of jet carved into a little bear (a gift for n, my bear, from jeffrey)
n was quite blessed as he loves ammunition and ancient things. jeff commented that he looked like billy the kid on his bed artfully awaiting pat garrett and company. he thought n's pistol handling was eerily good and wondered about his past life. that's my cowboy! we'll keep you posted on how he's doing.
