Are those cranberries? Or, could they be coffee beans?
On listening, I notice no Glen Campbell, no Wichita Lineman. Of course, you can’t have Lineman without Phoenix. Just in case you need a fix:

The British comedy that never gets old, Are You Being Served? We used get a lot of the Brit comedies on the local PBS at late night. Instead, we’ve been watching a lot of the original Mission: Impossible on streaming TV. We’ve noticed the bad guys never caught on to Jim Phelps and team.
Have a good Thanksgiving!!!

The berries are from a flower arrangement I bought at a flower store. I believe they are hypericum berries.
And oh yes, I listen to Glen Campbell all the time. The day I wrote this list (from Pip’s original list on her blog) I had the Blue Moves album by Elton John playing and earlier, Cash songs and one of my all time favorite songs, Baker Street. But Glen is always in the background somewhere! I do hope you had a lovely Thanksgiving!

Thank you Amorina. I have many other thoughts, dark, angry, sad, desperate thoughts that rarely appear here on this blog. I keep this a space to document small, seemingly insignificant glimmers of happiness or beauty. That helps to keep my mind more balanced. And there are many times, when this is quite a struggle.
