Sometimes It Comes In Twos

Our next door neighbor’s father (95) and a friend’s mother (85) passed away peacefully last (Thanksgiving) week. Both wakes were crowded, but we were warmly received by our friends.

(Finally) made a pumpkin pie and an experimental fruit cocktail cake this morning.

We watched the final Season 4 episode of Vikings last night.

I did more yard work yesterday. Mowed the front and cut down some gone-bys in front of the fence and in the corner garden.

I blew it: after looking forward to seeing Alpha for a week, I remembered the pick-up time incorrectly.  I was able to redeem myself, at least to A, by making a special trip with coffee and a muffin.

I will ask A and R to give us reminder calls a half hour before pickup time.
