I want to take this opportunity to wish all my readers a
Happy Thanksgiving. I will be going to Travalon’s family’s dinner for lunch and
then Rich’s place for dinner. As if that won’t be way too much food, we had a
potluck at work for lunch today, so I am already over my calorie budget and
haven’t even eaten dinner yet. Sorry for my silence the last couple of days.
Monday evening I joined a bunch of other ukulele newbies to play a number of
tunes (including some Christmas ones) at a retirement community right near my
house. If it weren’t so dark and cold, I could easily have walked! It was
mostly a jam, but we did have an appreciative audience of some of the
residents. When we played “I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas,” a couple of
relatives of one ukulele player stood above us on a balcony and danced around
with stuffed hippopotami. (Is that a word? Spellcheck doesn’t mind it.) Then
last night I totally forgot about the magic berries they had at Liliana’s (they
make sour food taste sweet), so Travalon and I went swimming in the warm pool
at our health club. On further reflection, that was probably a better choice:
getting some exercise burns off calories, while eating magic berries adds them,
and we already paid for the health club while we would have had to pay for the
berries. All the same, I was sort of bummed when I remembered this afternoon
about the berries. People tell me it is the craziest thing! Slices of lemon
taste just like candy! Maybe someday I will get another chance to try them…
