Picaresque: Getting Ready for Thanksgiving Day

About Me

Location: Arapahoe, Wyoming, United States

(Note: Blogs read from bottom to top; scroll down for beginnings, scroll up for most current.) After 30 years in public administration and four degrees, as well as numerous workshops with luminaries in Education and Public Policy, life in a slower lane became a goal. Most recently I have done policy writing and consulting for the Northern Arapaho and Eastern Shoshone Tribes. Mostly, I am just coasting slowly and gently downhill these days-seeking joy where I can find it before the glorious ride ends.

Getting Ready for Thanksgiving Day

My granddog Juneau is a stitch. He is highly interactive. After a game of fetch and a dip in the jacuzzi, he paid me the compliment of falling asleep on my feet.

The housecleaners worked the inside of the house. Jason and I spruced up the patio and tables outside. Lori had supplies to get and we went out to dinner at a Mexican Restaurant-Baja. Terrific food and waitresses dark-haired, slim and stacked. We played "Underwear or no Underwear," an amusing guessing game. We did some last minute shopping at a two story Target store and a huge Publix grocery store. Jason had to go fetch the Casper contingent at midnight.

Lori, bless her, went in search of more napkins for her beautiful table. We ran out of ovens at Deerfield so I took some dishes home to put in the oven here in the Boynton house. She also knocked herself out making this place welcoming for the O.F.

Buster has been acting put-upon because he has been. He is a good sport. I will do something special for him tomorrow ( in addition to giving him more of the Publix roast chicken I bought him this evening.)
