Cycled over to SiP Coffeebar to pick up a coffee, then sit on a wall overlooking a yard where a sculptor creates. I always chuckle at the Happiness art piece. Ostensibly, this is the “happiest time of the year.” This year we can simply be grateful for what we have.

Unsolicited Gifts
Reviewed our unsolicited holiday gift collection: a “gifting set” from The LEGO Company (wrapping paper, card, stickers, etc.), a face mask from our state representative, and plastic champagne flutes from the Minnesota Orchestra (to be used during their New Year’s Eve broadcast).
Marilyn Merlot
The 2001 Marilyn Merlot we’d been holding onto most of this millennium for a special occasion was corked. We substituted a cheeky young Pinot Noir to complement our slow-cooked turkey thighs. We’ll reduce Ms Merlot to a syrup to pour over ice cream
Early Christmas
On my bike ride with a friend, a preview of things to come.
Digital Birthday Greetings
Sang Happy Birthday to our 12-year-old nephew, along with Mrs Google.
Snow Bunny
On my walk: snow bunny with obligatory carrot.
Glimpse of Fall
On my walk: Concrete, steel and brick; wind and chill reveal structure; trunk, branch, twig and leaf.
Storm
Couldn’t out-pedal this storm.
Best Parade
On my cycle ride, found the best 4th of July parade, ever.
Shedding Snow
On my walk, a grain rail car was shedding yesterday’s snow.
