Not much to report here. It’s been a holiday week… although I have strong feelings about the history of Thanksgiving itself and the injustices done to Native peoples; I do support the idea of being grateful, and being humble. Of cherishing loved ones in our lives and celebrating life as we can.

But we had a nice dinner here, with our son doing all the cooking (and cleaning up) of a holiday feast of his own design…. and it was excellent. I was able to watch the Macy’s parade and the dog show… although with CoVid precautions, things were very different this year in how those events played out. Personally, I like the idea of minimizing crowds and video-taping things. But then, I am becoming somewhat of a recluse, having been ‘sheltering at home’ since March 1st. Hard to believe.

In an unprecedented move… I got out our ‘lone’ tub of holiday decorations, and was able to get Christmas things out and about. Very much an advantage of having few things, it is easier to get it all out <3 I have not scanned any more photos… but I did come across a very old album of Jeep’s (my MIL), and it is chock full of early photos from the 40s and 50s.

And… no word on a ‘new’ pup. … although I am looking. …

and for some reason, we’ve got fresh lettuce bursting forth in the balcony garden!
