Thanksgiving is a week away. So far no pumpkin pie. But piles of them are in your face when you walk into any grocery store and the pull is there. On the bright side, I'm loving my new-to-me $1 pair of bright turquoise corduroy skinny Joe Jeans!

Veterans' Day

Thinking of DAD!

ANOTHER GOAL

Where any one of us could actually wear that thong!

                                                        2012 PRIZE WINNER

Just now, all of a sudden, I remembered when I began slipping after Mom's 90th: Thanksgiving time 2012. Pumpkin pie before Thanksgiving. Pumpkin pie ON Thanksgiving. Pumpkin pie after Thanksgiving. As you all know, I don't mean a simple slice. So I believe it's a good thing this memory has popped, uninvited, into my head today. The take-away message for me: Take care. Thanksgiving with all its goodies approaches. Keep my eye on the greater prize that lies beyond the momentary comfort of pumpkin pie.

How are all of you doing?

Today makes 6 months since I put down the bad stuff on May 5. Afterland is like swimming in the ocean deeps.
