Love that you did the virtual turkey trot - I know that is a big tradition around here as well. <br />We also polished off a pie in two very short days. I can't worry about it. This is a weird time and we are just going to do whatever it takes to keep everyone smiling! I will say we only had salad for dinner last night - oddly enough, no one was terribly hungry! Hahaha.<br />Love the trees - That will be a very fun quilt.Bernie Kringelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00753481379287809548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4331056529990165279.post-43760885142931499872020-11-28T10:39:06.948-05:002020-11-28T10:39:06.948-05:00Kudos to you for participating...happy photo.

Kudos to you for the 5K - you are a better woman than I am in that arena. And yes, you are correct, admitting that the original plan is not going to happen is the first and best step to finding a new direction.

The Turkey Trot run will help balance out polishing off half a pie, but does that mean you have to run another 5K to deal with the 2nd pie? We were home alone, but then, we always are. We've postponed our turkey feast while I recover from some minor oral surgery.
