I was thrilled to look out the window yesterday morning and see that the ground had been covered with a fluffy blanket of white snow overnight. I grabbed my camera and rushed outside to snap a few pictures and take in the pristine-ness of it all. There are few things more beautiful than snow topped branches.
The rest of the day was lovely and low-key. We spent the rest of the morning drinking coffee with Shane’s sister, picking up the last few things for the big Thanksgiving meal, and revisiting some of Shane’s favorite neighborhood spots. This little park was the perfect place to snap a few more pictures of our white little wonderland. I was sad to see that the snow was already disappearing (I suppose beauty really is fleeting), but I managed to get a couple of shots before I needed to hop back in the car and thaw my fingers in front of the heater.
Shane and I had some time to kill last night before meeting up with a few of his friends for drinks, so we decided on a whim to check out the town’s bowling alley. I was skeptical about how much fun it would be for just the two of us to bowl together, but after my third strike, I was having a blast, grinning ear to ear. Yes, I came from behind and managed to crush Shane in our first game.
I was not so lucky in game 2, and Shane will probably give me a hard time for not posting those scores here, but I never claimed to be a fair and balanced reporter…
We ended the evening with a few of Shane’s old high school buddies at the local wine bar/ale house. It was fun to listen to them reminisce – I obviously didn’t know Shane in high school, so I am always eager to gather more of the bits and pieces of memories from this time in his life.
Well, I’m off to prepare my first ever Thanksgiving apple pie – happy Thanksgiving to all of you! God bless.
