Oh, you want a story from me? Okay, I'll come back here and share a story sometime today or in the near future. What's "near" future? I knew you'd ask. The near future is whenever I get around to it.
No, silly, not a round tuit.
I'm a story teller, but I have to think about it ― a lot. I'll be back.
In the meantime, I'm having a Thanksgiving meal with a friend.
Perfect timing for this post. Just last night my parents told me and my daughter that it was the 54th anniversary of them getting their visas to move to the US. They got the visas mid-day in London then caught the train up to Glasgow to say good bye to family. As they got off the train my uncle greeted them with tears in his eyes and said, "Your president has been shot." (November 22, 1963). What a way to come to a new country!
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving!
