sno time

I pulled up our water hats, gloves, and scarves today 

    Jackie and I are going to Morton Arboretum tomorrow for the lights display.

    I booked tickets early because I figured it will be warmer in November than in December.  I know...duh.

    We will need gloves and hats for the outing.

    I just hope I won't have problems pushing her in the wheelchair.  I think the path is about 1 mile long, and there are places to stop along he way so I am confident I won't have a problem. Slow and steady, slow and steady.

    Friend Renee told me last year that I should be ok except for one area where there was a little rise.  At least, that is what is sticking in my brain.  

    As long as we are properly dressed, we should both be fine.

    I went to Wallyworld for some Thanksgiving stuff and was amazed at the amount of pies and cookies on display.  It seemed like there were thousands of pumpkin pies.  I am probably way off on my estimate, but there were a lot.

    My pumpkin pies never last more than a few days before little green spots appear.  It is still 4 days to Thanksgiving and I hope their pies keep.  I also wonder what they do with the ones they don't sell.  I'd hate to see a dumpster full of pies on Thanksgiving!

    Not only was yesterday Julia's birthday, but it was the anniversary of one of the darkest days in our country's history.

    I had gone home for lunch from Lake View High School.  I lived half a block away.  Usually I listen to the radio and ate, but that day I did not turn on the radio.

    When I walked into school someone told me Kennedy had been shot.  I told him that was not something to joke about.   He said he wasn't, but I did not believe him.

    After that encounter, my mind is a blur.  I r remember going int a classroom and the teacher telling us Kennedy was dead.  I think we were dismissed and went home.  

    I think we would have been a better country had he not been killed.  He was young, vibrant, had a vision and would have been a good leader.  I know, he had some shortcomings.  He evidently was quite the womanizer.

    Things like that were pretty hushed up in those days.  Now it seems a badge of honor and gets you a cabinet position.

    Sorry. 

Peace and Love
