Lovely November day in the Adirondacks...could this have been Indian Summer???

Had a nice visit with friends M-A and Joyce today and a nice lunch at the Deer's Head Inn in Etown. I had a bread bowl full of chili - very yummy and a nice hot cup of tea. It was lovely.
Joyce's stepmom Judy joined for a bowl of soup - can't remember what it was - pumpkin, ginger maybe - something unusual and she said it was very good. After lunch we toured the new thrift shop over the Deer's Head. I bought a brass angel/bottle opener for Joyce (she collects brass stuff); a yellow fleece vest for BEP; 5 vintage Flintstone birthday party hats (why? I have no idea but I HAD to have them) and a magnetic photo frame. Spent $3 on these treasures! I love thrift shops!

I'm going to go back and browse the books and cds sometime too. They had a nice selection. Like I need any of those too. It takes me about 2 months to read a paperback book now. Right now I am trying to get through "My Stroke of Insight" by Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor, the brain researcher who had a massive stroke and spent 8 years recovering. Good reading and gives great hope to stroke victims and their families. Lots of useful information on how to help the stroke patient in their recovery.

Happy birthday to two of my favorite 7 year olds today!
