And remember your fellow travelers who are suffering again at this time of year - do what you can, in your own way, to help them. |

| Ed, you are simply amazing!! HAPPY Thanksgiving to all. Perfect grilling conditions here in Santa Cruz, 56 Degrees, high marine layer to cut down on the glare, and most importantly a slight SW breeze to blow the smoke in the right direction. A hui hou. |

With that Santa Cruz weather, Norman, how do you go "over the river and thru the woods to Grandmother's house....
Gotta have snow for the horse to know the way, yeah? Nah, nah. I'd druther have 56 degrees instead of the fluffy white stuff.
Enjoy, all. I am going to eat like a pua`a. I figure one day of bad ain't going to be so terrible. |
Me ke aloha
Malama pono,

E, Wanda - thanks for all your suppot in my down times this year. Nani - it was great meeting you this year - wonderful post! Finally, it was over the creek & through the woods to my departed mother-in-law's (an my two youngest ones' beloved grandmother) - the kids used to sing it as we came to the creek at the end of our trek from Seattle to the outskirts of Eugene. |
