The day started sweetly with coffee at Honls. Then… before you know it – it was time to head up the hill, for Xmas dinner. According to Google, it was 3.2 miles and 1020 feet elevation change away. And Google said it would take 75 minutes. So, out the door I go…
After about 30 minutes I stop for a water break…
Along the way, I am reminded that that solid line really doesn’t provide all that much protection to the pedestrian.
But, at the 2.7 mile marker – a friend stops and takes me the last 1/2 mile. Much much much appreciated. And, she brought me back down the hill. It was all good.
And, the party was all good. We had to sing and play games for our supper… But there was lots of good eats. Turkey, ham, mini marshmallow-free sweet potatoes. Regular potatoes. Veggies. Apple pie, tiramisu, and fruit tart, ice cream for dessert. I ate everything. Figure I earned it.
No politics – well – except for the ever entertaining local kind – were mentioned at dinner.
