Return to Renaissance!!! Wish It Was Everywhere! I ADORE JOHNNY DEPP...& MORE!!!

     Welcome back! 

Right over to the right of this post,  is where you can do some pay-> 

Thank you, in advance! 

Just $2...or more, from each of you is great!😊 

Since I've done so much writing, photos, created recipes, etc😉😊

Thank you so much to those, who've already paid!    

         

     Now to the fun points... 

    Not sure that was him... the amazing Johnny Depp...also...since we each have different perceptions, nearly all the time...including our dogs, cats, squirrels, birds, etc... 😂

     Don't know if that was actually Johnny Depp...a couple of years ago... but sure did resemble him!  I'm a huge fan of his! 

      I adore and admire Johnny Depp; he's been a great actor in so many movies, and more!  My husband and I both are impressed with how many versatile characters Johnny Depp has been, and he always has seemed real!  Well acted! 

     Would love to meet him sometime!  We'll see ¯\_(ツ)_/¯  

    Though I do love going to the Renaissance Faire... this &  every summer! 

      On November 13th, was World Kindness Day!  Another reason, I know... Renaissance every where, every day ...would be great, to have a World Kindness nearly every day!!!

    I'm also a huge fan of Sir Rod Stewart!

Why You're Here!

 Woman with Book 1932 by Pablo Picasso😉 <-This will take you to that post! 

~The Gist!
     It is Now in November of 2025.  Sadie's Gathering is now 12+ years old... how fast time goes...

     Some of the "Pages" are on the left side, and are on the right side.  

     Then, up on the top, of my Sadie's Gathering, "Home" ; "Why You're Here~The Gist"; "New To Sadie's? How to Navigate"

&  "MY PHOTOS!" are up on the left side with little red titles 😉

Also, if you are to click each of the titles, in this paragraph; it will take you to what the little red titles will😊

       I give you this list of posts that I've done, that have been enjoyed the most, but they have yet to get to My Top 10; that you see over on the left.  Most of them are written with a bit of sarcasm.  Heeheehee...

      I plan on eventually dividing them up into 3 or 4 pages, at some point, but till then, hope this helps.  Just clink on any title that strikes your fancy, and you'll be whisked away to the post!😉😊 

     Please know if you contribute$, just $2~$5, would be great, & it's easy to do😁 

     Also, considering how many posts, pages, recipes, I've written & more!  

     So many visit my blog, and return! 😊 

Have a fun day!

  ...All the rest, are just flying monkeys."😉😂 🧙‍♀️

Welcome Fall!

As I'm sure you know, these are my photos😉& as it says, $5 is GREAT!  DONATE, up on the right ->

     As I've mentioned before, I love fall.

     The leaves.  The smell.

     The crisp morning air.

    The gray, seemingly endless rainy days.

     The hopeful, seemingly endless sunny and unseasonally warm days, that start the season off... or pop up out of nowhere to our vocal disdain, yet warrant our secret private gratitude.

     The nostalgia.  Some childhood memories.  Some from not so long ago.  And then creating some new memories.

     The food.  The soups, breads, stews, roasts, pies.


     The movies.  Settling in to watch The Godfather, for the zillionth time, with untold bottles of a good red, and great spaghetti; either by yourself, or a few loved ones is a classic.  If you're by yourself, I strongly recommend keeping the number of bottles of a good red to one.  But hey, again... that's your call; I don't judge.

     The books.  Again: The Godfather; is a book that just seems to be meant for fall.  Once October hits; there's the class monster books: Frankenstein; The Legend of Sleepy Hollow: Dracula; The Curious Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr Hyde.  Or of course, something from the master, Stephen King.  Sadly, I cannot read many of Sir King's books, due to the fact that I am a chicken shtilly.  I have no problem scaring the daisies out of myself, just sitting by myself, downstairs alone in my house, with me and my imagination.  A sound is quickly made into a ne'er do well, intent on doing me graphic harm.  So, I steer clear of the King.  Yet I've read enough to know, he is the king, and I tip my proverbial hat to him.  He has the talent of winkling into our innermost thoughts to bring to light, (or dark) our innermost fears.

     Another, master: Ray Bradbury.  It wouldn't be fall for me without reading The Halloween Tree.  Gonna try to add Something Wicked This Way Comes, this fall, but we'll see.

     Fall is the time it seems that everyone just settles into the comfiness of the season.   Like a favorite chair.  Everything has started, school, fall sports, along with different programs. It might be a book club, the chess club, poker nights, or a cooking class; chances are you have started, know the players, and are starting to delve in.

     It's the season where the holidays are about pretending, remembering loved ones, and giving thanks.😊💙🙏

     Gotta run, there's zucchini bread that needs baking.

     Poor Chris...

     Chris Columbus that is¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

     He's been getting a bad rep the last several years.

     Perhaps it should rename ... some day. 

(Not sure this link will go to where it use to... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

      For now; Happy Columbus Day!

Gorgonzola Gnocchi with Walnut Cream Sauce

      UPDATE: I found out, in 2016, the great restaurant,  Rose Angelis, closed; on October 1, 2016, after 25 years of business.  Miss it more than I can say ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

     So, I originally created this recipe in 2017 and posted this recipe originally on  November 3, 2017.  

     Since, Halloween was over then;  yet still; it would not be long til we begin to hustle and bustle for the upcoming holidays😉.  

     If you'd like to read more, and get the recipe... Posting it today, because I don't have time to finish one of the relevant current posts that I'm working on.  Also, because I have a hankering for this dish, so I thought I'd share it again.  

     Also, just $5 to contribute over on the DONATE tab, is dandy😊 Especially since, this is a great recipe!!!
