Quarantine Diary 47 | Thanksgiving

 Ruth and I had a (safe healthy) Thanksgiving hosted at my brother Dean's lovely home in the Virginia countryside, along with his dear partner Bobbin. 

Though Ruth, Bobbin, and I contributed to the meal (pumpkin peanut soup, corn pudding, cookies), Dean, who is a superb cook, made a vegetable wellingon, cranberry sauce, salad with homemade dressing, an appetizer of bread, blended cheeses and home-grown tomatoes, gravy, two pies mit schlag, all of it created from scratch and with many ingredients from their garden. A delight.

We then took a walk in their beautiful neighborhood, and watched the sun go down over the trees. 

I had some fun while Ruth drove us home.

We are grateful for our blessings.

Driving between our homes. In sequence.

Learning and relearning how to see, how to be.

Douro Valley, Portugal - seventh day

On our last full day in Portugal, Ruth and I left Porto and visited the Douro Valley, home to many of the nation's port wine estates.

We visited two of them, the Quinta do Jalloto and the Quinta Santa Eufemia, and took a leisurely cruise up the river from Pinhao.

Close to paradise.






























Ruth!
