Thanksgiving 2024
Thanksgiving 2024
cold rain falls
a seat by the fire
awaits inside
welcome home
family and one stranger -
new boyfriend
blossom
this little girl
a woman
sipping eggnog
something cold bumps my hand
the dog's nose
at the table
food and storytelling
mostly stories
homeward bound
dark road in the headlights
edged with snow
.

lovely day
family and food

I'd rather learn from one bird how to sing than teach 10,000 stars how not to dance.

Re: Thanksgiving 2024
kids all over the place
this year....so first time
I'm alone
my doctor says no indoor crowds
anyway
so I turn down invitations
from friends
but i have a project
to build a set of shelves
I sketch it out with measurements
I'm into it
my best friend Lee
brings a giant plate of food
with rolls and dessert
turkey, yams, cranberry sauce
dressing, mashed potates, green beans
gravy
another fine year passes by
and I am thankful once again
