Glorious Thanksgiving

What a wonderful Thanksgiving Day I had. The weather where I am was sunny and shirt-sleeve mild and I got to be with some (not all) of my favorite people. Okay, so they're my family. I can't help it if they're the Best and Brightest. The rest of my B&B were off celebrating with more of my B&B. I feel like the pebble that's thrown in a pond... the rippling rings of extended family & friends keep moving out from me. If I can ever remember to buy the winning lottery ticket, I'll get them all together in one location.

So much to be thankful for this year. Family, old friends, new acquaintances. Serendipity, little graces, large blessings. Being in good shape for the shape I'm in.

And I finally figured out the real reason we eat turkey on Thanksgiving. It doesn't taste like chicken.

Sunshine, glorious sunshine

Three days of sunshine... glorious Fall days. Have been out and about, added some variety to my diet, been to the Garden, and spent time with people I love. And no more nightmares of being chased by a chicken with foul designs. Life is good.

Surrounded by people in shorts, running

Today is the Marathon. Fifteen thousand people running past my abode. Plus the support people handing out water and providing security. Secure is right... can't get my car out of the parking lot. Have been a shut-in for the last couple of days recouping from surgery. Need to get out and breathe fresh pollution. I neglected to stock up on diverse provisions for my stay-in. Luckily there are several restaurants withing walking distance, on my side of the street. 'Cause I gotta say, if I have to eat one more piece of chicken, I'll lay an egg!
