A very interesting evening at the American Refuge Committee Open House and coming out to a beautiful and well lit Minneapolis evening. Check them out www.arcrelief.org - lots of worthy work, based in Minnesota and a thirty plus year history.
Smaller group but I think the same amount of food. We did our best to take it all in. Absolutely gorgeous day for late November - we all got outside and some of us made the traditional Thanksgiving walk up the hill. And another birthday celebration for Lizzy!
Eileen, Peter, Abby, Lizzy, Tom and Eddie all kept us busy once we arrived in Stamford. We had baking, card playing - Stamford rules, school visits, neighborhood walks and the list goes on.
Grandma and I made our yearly trek to the East. We started in New Jersey with Neil, Ed, Grace, Lara and Christopher. An action packed weekend - soccer championships, lunch and a play in the City, a neighborhood party and cheering the Vikings to victory. And more than enough good food and fill in activities along the way. Lara decided it was time to get organized for Christmas as well over our visit.
This time Lynn Stolp, Mary and I were able to enjoy an evening with Agnes Kilpatrick. Another evening of great stories, life stories and memories of good times long, long ago.
A week later so a bit cooler and greyer but still way above normal and a great November weekend. Got another bike ride in followed by our monthly brunch at Hell's Kitchen - what more could you ask!!!
