Thanksgiving Day: One of my favorite holidays! 🤎
In the southern hemisphere, it tends to fall on a regular workday when we have classes to attend and/or teach and a school year to wrap up. All become aspects that help us focus on the essence of the celebration!
In the evening we had to take our now-traditional walk, half a block up and four blocks over, to the little “mom and pop” ice-cream shop that has become an important part of our family’s traditional celebration of Thanksgiving Day.
The purple flowers on the jacarandá tree that we usually photograph on our way weren’t at their peak this year, but we tried for a few snapshots anyway. It was E’s idea to get the flowers with the moon in the background...
Since E’s regular classes had been cancelled for the afternoon, she had accompanied me to school that morning in order to help me teach elementary EFL classes.
This is what can happen when your teen gets ahold of your cellphone while you’re at the wheel: 😄
As I commented (on fb!) to John Mark: Dr. Troutman might just have been right when he tried to assure this desperately sleep-deprived mom that a colicky baby turns into a wonderful teen... 😉
