Need to buy a box of Kleenex. Different people have different degrees of sneezing. I remember hankerchiefs and I’m grateful for Kleenex.

TDS is grateful for cocoa . I wasn’t watching him and he put scoops,  candy cane bits and whipped cream. Sugar power!

Going to school this morning! Rare opportunity to hear TDS sing.

I’ve been up and dressed since 6:00 a.m. I knew I needed one outfit for looking smart.

Yes I’ve worn my leggings!  Though have been told they aren’t snug enough.

I have an order of leggings waiting at home.

Conflicted! I would love to stay but it’s time to go!

But I still have today!

Live from Las Vegas

Easy travel

An engaging book to read as we traveled

Just when I thought I couldn’t sit still one more minute I read that Charles Lindbergh’s flight from NY to Paris was 33 hours

Landing at sunset in Vegas -God’s light and man’s lights

Seeing  familiar faces after walking to baggage (Who knew there was a tram?)

Food ready at home.

It’s Thanksgiving in my heart though Thanksgiving was next day.

Food,family, funny situations and games. Ever hear of Exploding Kittens?

So glad I just suffered bruises from my tumble down the stairs.

Black Friday bargains with a special gift to spend.

Giving up on my laptop then Jane finds it. So from Nevada sending you grateful greetings!

“Whenever I find myself growing grim about the mouth; whenever it is a damp, drizzly November in my soul; whenever I find myself involuntarily pausing before coffin warehouses, and bringing up the rear of every funeral I meet; and especially whenever my hypos get such an upper hand of me, that it requires a strong moral principle to prevent me from deliberately stepping into the street, and methodically knocking people’s hats off—then, I account it high time to get to sea as soon as I can.” Herman Melville, Moby-Dick
