Nov 23, 2009....

It's THIS close to Thanksgiving, but I thought I ought to sit down and write a few words so you won't think I've dropped off the face of the earth. We had a lovely time with my brother, wife and kids. Did a quick mystery tour of a few places downtown and son Jordan was kind enough to babysit so we went sans children. There are SO many wonderful places to see in Cleveland - I don't know why we have such a terrible reputation, and why I don't get there more often.

This past weekend Paul and I created a cozy table for two in Bistro Scheutzow for our son Jordan and his girlfriend Michelle, to celebrate 1 year of dating. It was lovely, and they seemed to enjoy it. The house still smells like crab legs!

This week, I have TWO DAYS to get ready for Thanksgiving, which is on Wednesday this year for us, since all the boys have other places to be on the real day. Still, I'll take what I can get. The insisted on turkey, so we'll do it with all the trimmings.

One nice thing last weekend was attending a church service where my adult student played a wonerful duet with his organist. We had worked on the piece for a while, and he did a great job. It was "It Is Well With My Soul" and sometime if you get a minute or two, google it and read the history behind the hymn. It will stir your soul.

Anyway, nothing else new here. Just dashing off to errands after preparing lessons for classes this afternoon. Hope anyone reading this is well and headed for a great Thanksgiving.
