A Quiet Thanksgiving in Postcards 4

Thank you for being my friends dear readers. I’m thankful we have you in our lives; you make us better people.

We puttered our day away yesterday. Christmas boxes came down, and I spent an hour or so getting rid of one box of decorations. We now have three boxes of red, three of blue, and one of stripys….most balls in their cardboard boxes. There are also two boxes of boxes and one of bags. Near the deck are three boxes of outdoor lights. Entirely too much stuff, if you ask me.

The tree is up, but not decorated. A book was read. Showers were taken. Phone calls answered. We drove to the bay for dinner. Yes, I ate all my pie and too much whipped cream while G ate half of my dinner. At the end of the day, we tucked ourselves into bed and watched the latest Star Trek movie…we loved it.

A lovely quiet Thanksgiving day filled with gratitudes. Today for me, it’s to work in the madness of Black Friday. G wants to shop.
