That’s right, today was Thanksgiving at the Wises. And as we are late celebrating this traditional American holiday, why not go all the way and make it as unconventional as possible. We broke out that old Tofurky we bought way back when, letting it thaw the recommended 24 hours before popping it in the oven for 2 long hours. I was salivating up a monsoon by the time it was ready. You’ve gotta be asking yourself, hey, just what does a Tofurky taste like? Well, now I know and I suppose I’ll tell you a bit more, but you will have to visit my other site www.happybumblebee.com to learn the details.
Flowers at Home
With the flowers coming home for the weekend, it is now my turn to also enjoy the sweet bouquet. Caroline’s dark office was not the healthiest of environments for flowers so I am happy she brought them home before all of the blooms went droopy. Walking through the front door you are at once greeted by their wonderful scent.
Green Tea
It is magic watching rolled-up green tea leaves unfurl and expand as the hot water works to make tea. Looking at them start as a thin layer of little spheres covering the bottom of the glass to floating effortlessly, you are bound to stare half hypnotized until they fill the bottom third of the glass. Maybe this zen moment is half the benefit of drinking green tea.
Three Million Dollar View
A friend is building a house on the lot I am taking this photo from, his truck is on the left and I’m standing at the front door. It’s a nice place, suppose it should be for north of $3 million dollars it will sell for. This community is sandwiched between Phoenix and Paradise Valley, Arizona on county land – phew, at least they’ll save on property taxes! Following the street to the left will take you to an overlook facing southward, offering a panorama of downtown Phoenix. The two-story brownish place on the left of center in the background is where Caroline and I live 🙂
For My Wife
Because it was today. Because she wasn’t expecting them. Because they smell so sweet. Because I love her with all of the complexity of qualities, vibrancy, and beauty beholden to the hues, aromas, and delicacy these flowers embody. Because after 6,274 days I still love her as much as I did more than 9 million minutes ago. Because she warms my heart even when her feet are cold as ice. Just because.
