Sunday at Home, Same As It Ever Was

A quiet sunny Sunday at home; shot a few random photos of the morning light, savored chef Elliott's frothy cappuccino and home-grown bananas, devoured the New York Times, Tweeted a few Vote Now posts, made a big pot of lima bean, tomato and spinach soup, engrossed in "Just Kids" about Patti Smith and Robert Mapplethorpe, swam a few laps in the pool, watching 'The Bureau', season 3, episode 6 on Netflix. 

 

Thanksgiving 2013

Festive fun ensued this Thanksgiving with friends and family, all having traveled great distances to join us in Sarasota: Ruth and Mike from Lighthouse Point, Florida; Ilana and Todd from Nederland, Colorado; Mark and Wing from San Francisco; and Danny and Tom from St. Armands Circle.
