Happy Friday, readers! I am ready for the weekend and my long list of chores ahead of Thanksgiving. I am going to “work” from home on Monday and then take the rest of the week off. I am very thankful for my job and the flexible schedule. I am also thankful for the beautiful fall weather and leaves we have been treated to this year. My neighborhood is just a colorful palate these days.

Of course, I’ve filled up approximately 3 1/2 bags with leaves the past two weeks, but that’s the price you pay for beauty. I will probably fill up another 3 this weekend!

I had to go out at night on Tuesday (!) for the University City Historical Society Annual Meeting and Dinner. I got officially voted onto the board–and helped lower the median age. We had this lovely cake. It’s amazing what Costco can do with a sheet cake these days!

And in Mr. Smith news, here he is in his travel LL Bean tote. He’s going to the groomer this weekend ahead of the holiday and our visitors.

He is learning to love car travel in the front seat. Even if I shame him when we walk out to the car.

Whatever you say, Mom.

Have a Happy Thanksgiving! Watch Planes, Train, and Automobiles, eat some pie, have as many crescent rolls as you want, and enjoy Prosecco with all your meals.

The title is, of course, from PTA. It’s the scene in the Jefferson City bus station. Lol.
