“Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.”

Row 2 - Election results!; bedroom being repainted; Norman enjoying a DVD -birthday gift - showcasing one of his favorite jazz musicians; love this combo of mums and cactus, seen on an afternoon walk; very much enjoying stitching this for a friend's birthday...

Row 4 - This Iraqui veteran helped me find a parking space ~ he had my back ~ as I waited for one to open up; a tree in all its fall finery; morning reading and inspirtation; another glorious sunset; Norman raking our and neighbors' leaves for city pick up...
Row 5 - Cranberries! so glad they're back in season ~ we like them fresh; flowers for me from my friend Kathy - still fresh after nearly two weeks; my 2003 Ford Escape that I've had for 9 years turned over to 100,000 miles! my friend Antonette - she gives the best hug and we'd not seen each other for too long a time; Norman discovered a whole new world of jazz performances from way-back-when on YouTube...he's in heaven...
Row 6: Annual Macy's Thanksgiving parade - we get a first rate seat right here on the TV; everytime I walk in the house, I see this display - it reminds me of my mother and I think how good to be home, safe and sound; Challah bread ~ je t'adore; Norman soaking up sun rays Thanksgiving morning; December and all the festivites promised, just hours away...
