Happy Thanksgiving!

What a beautiful day!  The frost is most definitely on the pumpkin and the turkeys are out looking for their corn in the yard.  I look at the bed in Caterina's room piled high with clothes and all the stuff that needs to make it into one remaining suitcase and one small carry on and I despair!  While I have most of my things already packed and sorted, Geoff's stuff is all over the place.  Imagine that!

As mentioned in his own post, I put my foot down on blue jeans and Scarborough Fire Department shirts accompanying us to the major capitals of Europe. So off we trotted to Geoff's favorite clothing store..Sam's Club, I kid you not!......and purchased some very nice Ralph Lauren sweaters, black pants and black polo shirts. (Yup, Lauren Polo) I happened to find two "roll them up into a small pack" down jackets for Caterina and I for chilly Paris and London and  three bottles of wine for the party at Nancy's. Leaving behind more money than I like to donate to WalMart, Geoff looks quite spiffy I must say!  I will post a picture for your viewing pleasure when I figure out how to do that.

And so, we munch on breakfast and make plans for the 12:15 ferry to Peaks where we will eat at the best kept Thanksgiving secret in town---the Inn at Peaks.  Shoreside we will meet up with the MacLean clan, many of whom are flying in today, for another round of food and drink.

I give thanks for life and all its blessings.  I will tackle Geoff's pile on the bed tomorrow.
