Our covered, screened-in porch is the perfect place to relax on a mild November evening. There’s a family celebration in full force across the lake, fairy lights and lilting voices twinkling on the calm water.
I’m sipping a Shock Top Raspberry Wheat Ale and tapping my toes in time with the guitar music drifting across the pond. Whoever’s playing isn’t very adept at their craft, but they’re quite enthusiastic. I like that in my musicians.
The man I adore, Studly Doright, is inside the house heating leftovers from yesterday’s Thanksgiving Day meal. I’m not a bit hungry, having already eaten two pieces of pecan pie, an avocado, bacon, and cheese omelet, and a ham sandwich today. The ale is my dessert.
Life is good here at Doright Manor. There’s a black and white cat winding around my ankles and a black cat snuggled down for a nap in the chair next to me. No, it’s not an exciting life, but it is filled with peace and love.

Sounds like my kind of night. Although, we don’t have ‘Shock Tops’ on this side of the world, however, we do have lakes and cats.

Lol! I didn’t even notice! But honestly, I’m appalled when I’m rereading one of my old posts and come across a typo. I’ve got one out there right now that has a typo in The TITLE for heaven’s sake. But now it’s grown on me, so there’s no changing it.
