Have fun with your Hostas! > [@Ostara](#): > > I wasn’t born until 1967, so I didn’t know them personally. 🤣 Yeah, I figured it was something for the holiday. At least you did something unique! Nothing big for me this week other than a meeting here at the apartment on Thursday about keeping my workers. That’ll be easy, a nice week! Jessie and I got the Halloween stuff down and the Thanksgiving stuff up today, so that’s something. My computer is slowing down, I just hope it holds out till I can afford a new tower. Which will be in the New Year because Yule and Christmas. Actually have people to buy stuff for, plus Houdini! Yes, the cat will get a gift. It’s only right. He’s a baby. LOL! Hope everyone has a good week! ---

I have questions…☝ > [@Ostara](#): > > The Victorian funeral was a reenactment at a State Historical site …oh, okay. This answers them. I´m having a rather busy MONTH ahead at work, because two people are missing from my team, so I have to work more hours. But it´s okay, I like my job and more hours mean more cash…so, not complaining. I´ll try my best to show up here as much as possible but lately I´m spending time with a new (nerdy) hobby: I found my love for ATCs (Artist Trading Cards) and now I´m also spending time on the platform there to mail my tiny art out into the world and receive tiny art from all over the world. I love this so much right now. Have a wonderful blessed week! ✨ ---

Is it just me, or does the date on our Merry Meet title seem strange because it says November? It seems like Thanksgiving was a couple of months ago! Here’s a few pics from the funeral.
