In my village, there's souk ( where you can buy fresh fruits and veggies and other necessities) only the weekend. There are some small grocery shops but the souk is way better. And the introvert that I am doesn't like to go out...

Ronald Franklin This year it was just my wife and me for Thanksgiving dinner. We got the meal from a restaurant, but it wasn't that great.

I know some have Christmas trees up, or other decorations. What kind of decorations do you have? We had some up for Halloween. We don’t have Christmas up yet,but some people have outdoor decor up—lights and other Christmas items....

Ronald Franklin We don't actually decorate a tree any more--we just put up a little miniature tree a few weeks before Christmas. For my wife and me, that's enough to help us get into the Christmas spirit.

In my refrigerator, in a covered plate, are the remains of my Thanksgiving dinner. I can’t remember that ever happening before—I don’t think I’ve ever left so much on my Thanksgiving dinner plate that I needed to save the residue...

Ronald Franklin I'm really blessed that my wife handles the grocery shopping. At this point, it would be physically taxing on me.

We live out in the country and two miles from a really small town. Our pecan trees haven't dropped their pecans yet, so I was forced to buy some. I really didn't want to buy pecans from Walmart (who knows where they're from or...

Ronald Franklin I've never lived in a small town. Although I guess where I live now could be called a small town, it's really part of a much larger metropolitan area. Although we're very careful about locking doors, I'm grateful that crime is low in our area.

Last week I was driving to the grocery store and had the local radio on. They were playing pop songs from the 70s and 80s. They played that song that Billy Joel sings Moving Out. It brought back memories. I looked it up on...

Ronald Franklin I can't really relate--I don't particularly like Billy Joel, and my tastes in music have never gotten beyond the 70s.
