11/18 – the giving of thanks

hello friends,

as I am writing these words, there is but one day of class to go until the sweet, sweet respite of thanksgiving.  this year, more than ever, it is a trial run for winter break.  practice your snowpeople, your snow angels, your snowball tactics, and your sledding.  fire up the woodstove.  and hunker down for the month-plus of christmas music that is sure to barrage your eardrums the second that thanksgiving ends.

yes, it is a magical time of year, and hey, you can always escape your family outside!

 

what we done did

  • michael, on friday night, did something.  what was this thing? played pond somewhere.  i am hard of hearing. “giant trail of snow through dana”
  • macey went to mt blue and also ascended mt blue and it was lovely powdery snow and it was a good time
  • joseph went on a tour of a maple sugaring place! it was real sweet
  • megan went up mt battie and there was six inches of snow and it was slippery and much fun
  • michael took out the dock before cocsgiving!  sweat tears and nudity!
  • people talked about the outside at WFA! which sort of counts.  there was quite a bit of vomit. there was one hypothetical death
  • joseph went sledding!
  • soren made snow! with snow making machines! at quarry road!
