Picaresque: 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.

Thanksgiving Day

Lori, Jason, and Val are not too many cooks-just right. Fantastic food was enjoyed by all. My part was cooking the dishes Lori had made the day before, up at the Boynton house and carrying them in. (plus some other dishes I made on-site. Juneau was having a play date with his friend Tahoe next door so it seemed OK to invite Buster in. He was sniffing for other doggies and marked the easy chair! He blotted his good dog record on this occasion. Then the other dogs came home and Tahoe promptly pooped on the patio-twice! There was some sort of doggie interaction going on we did not understand.

After stuffing ouselves like little piggies Jason treated us to a sunset cruise on the Intracoastal waterway. We scoped out the mansions, and the yachts, enjoyed a bottle of wine, and the fine weather. Pumpkin pie with homemade whipped cream after the cruise. Lots to be thankful for on Thanksgiving 2007.

Jason has cruised this way often. He said " When you come back after dark, you can see the TV sets in those mansions-they are watching the same crappy programs I get."
