Thanksgiving

It's almost Thanksgiving and I really don't know where to begin.  There will be  parades and big dinners and family gatherings.  We will have ours in our new dwelling.  All the food is planned with all of us taking a part.  The Lions will play Chicago on TV.  With all the cozy feelings, I can't help but think of those with less and this general unease with the direction the country is heading.  With all the warm feelings that abound, this stuff keeps creeping in.  

Andrew had his 44th birthday recently and we celebrated at our place.  Very proud of him as a man, a father and a husband.  He is setting a good example for his children.

Went last night for dinner at Red Coat Tavern in Royal Oak., a somewhat legendary spot.  I was expecting a magical burger with all the fixings.  Yeah it was good but I wasn't transported to flavor heaven.  Seventeen bucks for a burger and a pickle.  At that price, they could have included a few French fries.  That was a little disappointing.  In a meal such as this, the fries are an integral part of the taste experience.  Just saying.

Dear friend Joyce is coming over this morning to visit with her boyfriend Harry. She is 93 and bright as a button although slowing down a little.  Said she was good going down the stairs but will use the lift on the up side.

Cold today with a little sunshine peeking through.

thats it, enjoy the day on Thursday 

all for now
