Listening to the Bee Gee's in the dark of early morining. KXCI is a fantastic radio station in Tucson that plays all kind of music. This morning it is Soul and '80's. Been up way too long. I am learning to navigate the wee hours of the morning now that I am in my sixth decade of life on Earth. Why is that? Clinging to the moments?
Getting ready to travel to visit good friends, and then on to visit more friends I have not physically been with for twenty years, though we have been in touch often with long phone calls. There is something about true friends: your relationship does not exist in time and space, but resides in the heart. So, we just carry our friendship wherever we are habiting at the moment.
Are you baking pies? Getting ready for Thanksgiving? My daughter has been in search of Durkey's Fried Green Beans for her delicious casserole. NPR featured an author of the book "Humble Pie" who is calling forth to the nation to revive the art of pie making! It made me realize I stopped making homemade pies about 15 years ago. Hawaiian Pie was my specialty: Eagle Brand Condensed Milk and egg custard with lemon flavoring; freshly ground coconut and crushed pineapple layers on top of that, and whipped cream and cherries on top; a layer of bananas on the pie crust before the thick custard filling is poured in. DEEEELLLICIOUS
I am giving Thanks for family and friends and the kitchens that will welcome me home. I think also of those in need, making sure I give something for a local pantry or soup kitchen to provide meals and food boxes for people struggling with hunger and poverty. Better yet, I will continue to work in my state and in congress to finally create a living wage for all the hard working Americans standing in the soup lines tomorrow. There are too many in this land of plenty. Let's work on that together, and enjoy Thanksgiving knowing we are creating home and safety for all.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
