Good Morning,

got out for my morning run today and stopped dead in my tracks. There were two inches of snow on the ground. Even though this would not stop me on any other day, today it did, because with the schools closed an me having to get to work early, it would have meant too much of a time crunch. Aaaargh!

We had planned to drive to my in-laws for Thanksgiving dinner tonight, but I might re-think that plan due to the weather. Maybe drive tomorrow during the day. Sad thing is that I have only two days off work, and that would make me waste a whole day on traveling. Decisions,decisions.

moonlight: Good luck with the foot, I hope it will get better soon again!

QOTD1: I love all Thanksgiving sides. I could do without the turkey, though.

QOTD2: Pumpkin!

Have a great (snow?) day, everyone!

We started out from daughter and son in law's house in a pouring rain and Marley pretty much mutinied  She would have run if I insisted, but she definitely didn't want to.  We are usually both all weather runners, but I wasn't that motivated either so I relented and headed back with less than a mile in.

QOTD1: Tough call, but right now I am craving sauerkraut.

QOTD2: I like all of the pies, but I guess I'll say apple.  I am looking forward to baking them with my daughter.  We have baked together since she was a small child and baking the holiday pies together is a holiday tradition for us.  My son in law baked his traditional cranberry bread last night.  He has baked it for every thanksgiving since he was a kid,  It is quite delicious too,

Early run with some light snow coming down.  Weather is supposed to change to freezing rain and then rain. Now just hoping DD #1's flight makes it in to Dulles airport without any problems.  Will be first time in a while that all of our young adult kids are in the house. DW's been humming all week.

Safe travels to those heading out for the holiday.

Speedy recovery for those with aches and pains.

QOTD-1:  Sweet potatoes with butter, brown sugar and melted marshmallows on top.

QOTD-2:  Pecan.

I'll head out tonight for 5-6 miles, this time I'll be wearing two lamps and try not to tumble!  temps have moderated to close to normal- thank goodness

qotd: I like them all, but stuffing is tops

qotd2: for thanksgiving- pumpkin, don't be shy with the whipped cream either

I don't think I will be running in this mess today. Plus, I am a pall bearer for a funeral at 2.

QOTD 1: I think dressing with the cranberry sauce.

QOTD 2: Buttermilk pie is my favorite, but I won't be disappointed with sweet potato pie.

Yup snow it is! Had a nice 5 miler in a lightly falling snow early.  Love the faint sound that snow makes when hitting the ground.

QOTD 1: I like everything

QOTD 2: See answer 1.

Have a great day!

Getting dressed to go play at cleaning the park; paused to look at the weather, then the ship traffic, now ... Sitting here listening to the fog horns of ships in the strait; watching them on a web site; noticing how much closer they icons are than usual; big ships; 294 meters long, 352 meters long--two more fog horns just joined in--ships passing in the morn' and so on... eerie feeling listening to them--100,000 tons of stuff, one inbound, one outbound---and now the icon for one has gone off-screen... and some of the honks have ceased...hmm, they change tones? Much deeper bass tones now. Along with my meager knowledge of tides and fogs, am I supposed to learn fog horn sounds too? Ah... the outbound Arnold Maersk reappeared on the screen. The MSC Fabienne has passed and heads on toward Seattle. OOCL Atlanta, 323 meters long honks her way to the open waters of the Pacific a hundred miles westerly.

The island is socked in and 36º.

QOTD 1:  We haven't decided on anything for this year yet.

QOTD 2:  Kathy will bake a pumpkin pie.  I will bake either a Dutch apple or mince meat--like Christmas shopping on the 23rd and 24th, we won't decide until tomorrow at the grocery store---assumes some stuff is still on the shelves.
