November 23, 2017, Prescott-
The day set aside
for giving thanks
as family,
has not failed me,
for a good many years.
All my married life,
we had blessed meals,
with a couple of minor mishaps,
here and there,
which never quite
detracted from the
overall amazing meals,
which we prepared.
about two-thirds
of the time.
The years of widowhood,
have sometimes seen me
the guest of our Navy,
enjoying copious amounts
of well-prepared food,
or my being somewhat
a guide to the splendours
of Julian Cafe.
This year, my son
is in Korea.
I am here,
and most fortunate
to have a fine chef
as a very special friend.
Her daughter is following
closely,
in those culinary
footsteps.
What my friend does,
she does with love in her heart.
So, it went
that one of the most bountiful
days of the year,
was once again blessed.
I’m glad you had a happy Thanksgiving!

It was happy, thank you! I’ve been wondering recently if you’re planning a trip out this direction — my last scheduled surgery will be Tuesday, and then I have smoother sailing, with a Christmas trip to Santa Barbara and hopefully an easier 2018!

It is the sort of loving place that brings me back to where I was, prior to 2011.
