Three on Thursday

I'm joining Carole and friends for Three on Thursday. I try to be thankful every day, but I find myself actively looking for things now that Thanksgiving is just one week away. Here are three things I'm thankful for, encapsulated in one photo taken while I enjoyed lunch at C3ntral Tavern. 


  • Meditative knitting with one of my favorite yarns, in one of my favorite colors, for one of my favorite sons.
  • A wonderful drink made with orange vodka, triple sec, peach schnapps, pineapple juice, and cranberry juice.                     (Gotta get my Vitamin C.)
  • Swedish meatball mac & cheese, delicious and delectable!

Bonus:


The man in the yellow graduation gown, sparkly red sequined hat, and several long pearl necklaces walked in and sat down while I was having lunch. I don't know if the other guy at the bar knew him (I've often seen him walking around Elkton), but he offered to buy lunch for the graduation gown man, whatever he wanted. He opted for just a soda, but I'm grateful to live in a place where such acts of kindness are so freely given. 

Be sure to visit Carole for more Three on Thursday thoughts. (I'm betting you'll read about lots more gratitude!)

    1. It was a lovely moment to see in Elkton and inspired me to think about acts of kindness I could be performing. Kindness seems to inspire more kindness!

  7. Thank you, Bonny! In this week of impeachment hearings, uncivil discourse, and Thanksgiving stress, I needed a random act of kindness report. How lovely of this kind man. And how lovely of you to observe and then report it to everyone. Have a great Thursday. (ACK, a week from today! I better get busy today.)
