PORCH PONDERINGS

Turkey Trots

Well for the first time I got a call that someone I saw last week, a massage therapist, was exposed to someone with the virus on October 30th. So far she is asymptomatic. Great. Now that worry is in the back of my mind.

I was up all night, well since 3:30, so might as well have been, running to the bathroom. I want to blame it on the 'meals on wheels' offering yesterday. I got a call to help. Monday is not the usual day for us, but they needed help, so sure. I helped. Then I brought home some food for our lunch. Hmmm. Something didn't sit right, as they say. So I now am drinking the pink goo and gatorade.

After OctoPrep finished, I had a lot more time to think about writing for the contests on this site. I enjoy thinking of little tales, flash fiction is truly a great challenge. But the contests where you have a month to mull over the story are great as well.

We did have a bit of a storm come through, but it was rain to start which froze under a light layer of snow. But over the past few days the sun has melted most, so walking is not so treacherous.

What is everyone doing for Turkey Day? We are driving a bit west to Big Timber, staying in an old hotel for a few days. They're serving a meal on Thanksgiving. We also have a few hikes in mind in the mountains over that way. We just pray the weather holds. The past few years we've taken Amtrak to a place over by Glacier National Park, the Izaak Walton Inn. https://izaakwaltoninn.com. But they are closed this year at this time. Darn.

So everyone stay safe. Enjoy the beginning of winter.
