Crescent Moon, Oh Yippeee

 
And for the dinner part ... grapes and...
 
 
To our Swiss neighbors!!!! It´s a dream indeed!
 
 
"Our everyday objects and their unusual origin stories
 

 Play-Doh
 
The idea for the colorful children's modeling clay began with a soft compound from the Kutol company that homeowners could press against wallpaper to remove soot, since most homes before the 1950s relied on coal. When electricity arrived, Kay Zufall, a preschool teacher and Kutol's sister-in-law, had the million-dollar idea – the rest is history!" 
 
Addendum: Whilst you, who are in the United States, might enjoy a stuffed Turkey for Thanksgiving, here fK and I take Acerola as we feel a flu or such might be on the way.
Crappy times! Over here. And yet, yes, I give thanks I got to know all of you... in many a country! Am I thankful there is the blogger-world!

Boring, Tom, Boring ;-)

Ooooo, that cheese!
The moon was so pretty the other night as we were driving home. I couldn't get a photo, much as I wanted to.
We used to make play-doh sometimes at the library. I can't remember the recipe now but it was pretty easy, and the kids loved doing it.
Thanksgiving! Yes, usually a nice day, but Larry is sick and I will probably catch what he has, so our plans are cancelled.

Now I want some of that cheese, Iris. I loved Play-Doh when I was a kid.

Maria Medeiros said...

I used to love Play Doh. The boys still do, though beginning to age out. Love your drawing!

Iris Flavia said...

You made your own play-doh - cool!
Sorry Larry is sick - if you´re talking flu or such: Acerola might help! Vitamin C from a cherry.

Iris Flavia said...

To cheese, Christine!

Iris Flavia said...

The cheese is super-yummy, RedPat and I didn´t really have Play-Doh, but Bro had.

Iris Flavia said...

Thank you, Maria, I often think cheese ;-)

Iris Flavia said...

I never had Play Doh, Bro had. Thank you, I love cheese, as you can see ;-)

I am so old that I remember playing with the wallpaper cleaning stuff. It had a funny smell.

CJ Kennedy said...

Who knew that Play-Doh (just like Homer says!) came from a cleaning product. I hope you and fK are feeling better.

Hi Iris. We had roast turkey with gravy, mashed potatoes, corn, cranberry sauce and stuffing. Pumpkin pie for dessert. It was delicious. Nice holiday meal.

Iris Flavia said...

We still play! :-)

Iris Flavia said...

D´oh! Yes, Acerola sure helped, thank you!

Iris Flavia said...

I can bite into any cheese :-)

Iris Flavia said...

That sounds wonderful! I never had turkey... One day, maybe!

So viel Spaß mit Käse, liebe Iris! Aber Ja, wir mögen ihn sehr zu den Mahlzeiten. Als Käse-Fondue, über den Spaghetti und nicht zuletzt im Cordon Bleu. Und schon bekomme ich Hunger. Keine Frage es ist Thanksgiving. Und ich wünsche dir und deiner Familie noch happy Thanksgiving.
Viele Grüße von Heidrun

Iris Flavia said...

Heidrun, nun werd ich aber hungrig! Ich habe eine Tante in der Schweiz und hatte noch nie Käse-Fondue! Ich hatte "Australisches" Essen, dank Ingo - dafür bin ich dankbar! :-)
