Festina Lente*

by chuckofish

It is November and we are three weeks away from Thanksgiving! Zut alors!

I am also three weeks away from leaving on a big trip–a pilgrimage to the Holy Land! Am I ready? Not exactly. (I did renew my passport.) Good grief, I need to get my act together and fast. Hopefully, I will make some progress this weekend. Last weekend daughter #2 brought me a large suitcase to use for the trip, so I will start filling it up.

I have been reading up on Israel lately.

First up, the OM and I are going to see “legendary bluegrass group Hot Rize” at the Sheldon tonight. Daughter #1 is driving in for it. Maybe the boy will join us.

This has less to do with the quality of the film and more to do with my being an old lady who gets up too early every day to be able to watch TV at night. I must say I thought the cinematography (of the little I saw) was very good and the location shots in Kanab, Utah were impressive.

Have a good weekend. Get some rest.
