new tunes, not stuck, and out of hiding
posted by soe 1:29 am

Three beautiful things from the week after Thanksgiving:

1. Dad sends me home with Eric Clapton, Monkees, John Legend, and Ingrid Michaelson Christmas cds.

2. Rudi was covering ski racing in Vermont last weekend, which meant we were not driving home Sunday night when the Delaware Memorial Bridge, one of the major north-south bridges on the Atlantic seaboard, closed for six hours due to a chemical spill. It was major enough that my brother, who lives in Los Angeles, heard about it on the news.

3. Jeremiah, our shy senior citizen cat, came out for the pet sitter, at least by the end of our time away. He texted me a photo to say he’d won Jer over with food and “pleasant banter.”

How about you? What’s been beautiful in your world lately?

First snowfall, a warm house, and some brief moments of sunshine to break up the spate of grey days!

Have a good weekend!

Oh Im so glad you didnt get stuck with the bridge incident. And I LOVE all Holiday CD’s and music. I was saying to Fireman, I think the BEST thing since I grew up is that Radio Stations play Holiday music 24/7 now It was not that way growing up for me. Now as soon as Im in the car I turn on the holiday music. I JUST LOVE it

I’m glad Jeremiah had some company while you were away. He’s a cutie. I’m also glad you didn’t get stuck in that bridge mess. Here, my Christmas cards arrived and they look great. The kids made adorable ornaments in school. And I met my Thursday deadline. So, a pretty good week!
