Thanksgiving

Confession: I'm writing about this Thanksgiving from the year 2020 (oooh! The future!) 

I don't really remember the details of the day from 3 years later, but the thing I love is the way these days have so much in common with the years past. We cook and we plan. I love the same decorations and the fall flowers. I love our friends that feel like part of our family.

I love the music and the fun. 

Happy Thanksgiving (from the future....boogety boo!)

Theatric Pilgrims

I can't get enough of those giggles.

Ethan loves coming to Savers with me. He understands that feeling you get when you see a blue painted duck and you know you have to take it home and put in on your shelf. 

A night at the Midland - Tommy Emmanuel

This is one of those sweet surprises in life.

Mark and I went to the Midland Theater in the Power and Light District, downtown KC to see Tommy Emmanuel play. The theater was built in 1927 and is the kind of place they just don't build anymore. It's a treat to go see someone perform there.

And Tommy Emmanuel....

He didn't disappoint.

This is my favorite of all his songs:

And then! We got to listen to these two, Rob Ickes and Trey Hensely..they have serious guitar chops.

And if that wasn't enough, Tommy did a big set with this fantastic mandolin musician, David Grisman. He was old school and utterly entertaining.

We enjoyed every minute if it. Sometimes it's worth stepping off the beaten path!

50's day

Well, if that isn't the cutest thing....

So close

It's not that I don't appreciate the fact that someone else did the cooking...

Drawing blood

If I come out of a workout bleeding, does that mean I'm super awesome or that I can't jump rope with out injuring myself?

Clearly, I'm awesome.
