wednesday's words and wonderings and wanderings

Working at the farm is done until next May. Whenever I drive out of my neighborhood onto Far Hills Avenue, a message pops up on my phone, "13 minutes to your destination." Driving to Treadway Gardens was a regular routine for the past five months but it's kind of creepy that my phone thinks it knows where I'm going.

I usually go to yoga 3-4 time a week but going to yoga took a backseat during my employment. Now that my job is over, I have returned to the studio. I was always moving while working at the farm. Moving through a yoga sequence is a different kind of movement and different kind of focus. I have come to realize that being at both, the farm and the yoga studio, is good for the mind, body, and spirit.

Todd and I are going to Chicago on Thursday. Our daughter and son-in-law bought a house four blocks from where they currently live in the Ukrainian Village. They've been moving a lot of small stuff to their new home and the moving truck is coming on the 15th to move the big items. Todd will help them move the rest of the small items and I will look after my 9-month old little sweetheart grandson.

We have season tickets for the University of Dayton mens' basketball season. The Flyers played Northwestern on Saturday and after the first half I was ready to go home. Northwestern shut them down. During the second half Dayton had moments of getting their act together and then Northwestern overpowered them. With six minutes left, UD hit a hot streak, Northwestern went cold, and Dayton won by 5 points. The crowd was loUD and proUD!

Todd went to dinner with some friends and while he dined with his buddies, I fixed a tomato sandwich with the last fresh tomato I brought home from the farm. Duke's is my mayo of choice. This sandwich tasted extra good.

It's also time to focus on Thanksgiving. My house will be filled with the people I love the most from the day before Thanksgiving until the Sunday afterward - all 12 of us plus Spanky the dog. Right now it's time for endless to-do lists, day-to-day charts of stuff that needs to be done, and menus for each day. Most times I'm good at going by the seat of my pants but for the Thanksgiving weekend I need lists, lots of lists.
