CRANBERRIES ETC~~~~~  ]Here in Canada it's Thanksgiving on Sunday and and his family are hosting this year......They asked make the cranberry sauce.....Perfect.....I love cranberries.....The colours and shapes are so glorious.....all those shiny red spheres.....and the sounds they make when they start exploding......stirring it with wooden spoon........It reminded of another Thanksgiving many years ago and the people I was with....... There were women there I loved dearly..... was age and our played together. The other was like a ......in fact, she was the age as first would be if she had survived......Growing up, she was the of warring, absent parents and had a large trust fund.....I was stirring cranberries thinking of them. They were best friends, hang- buddies, but they couldn't stand each other, so the of us were rarely together....they both thought the other was very selfish and wasn't good for ......both of them expressed that they didn't understand how I could be friends with the other.....That Thanksgiving was probably the last time the of us were in the room......I miss both of them........I recently heard that the younger 's husband has decided that he is a woman and is having full surgical and hormonal treatment change.......They are still good friends and co-parenting.........I can't imagine...... The last photo is new driveway decoration.....I found the hand at a garage sale this weekend......I had a lot of fun introducing myself and reaching that hand and when someone took it, I pulled away and left them holding the hand.....I just happened to be wearing the perfect sleeves.....       |

Beautiful Autumn day...

It was a beautiful Autumn day here also, but it's turning colder and raining. Tomorrow will colder, windy, and raining all day. It doesn't mean there won't be any more nice Autumn days, just that short sleeves will be replaced by sweaters and sweatshirts. I also had two friends, both from SFF and both I spent time with in person, who could not stand each other. But we had a good arrangement: when we were together, we did not discuss the other one. I read something today that I really liked.... I can only paraphrase it though---- Peace is not agreeing with everyone about everything, it is recognizing there are differences and still being able to play together. Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.

A man I know who is a conspiracy theorist is sure the Earth is flat. He asked me why people get up and leave the room whenever he starts talking about a flat Earth..........
