Happy Thanksgiving!

I am thankful for this online space and all the friends in it!

The 5k Turkey Trot this year was virtual (meaning you run and input your time in a web site). I did it in 52 minutes, which is not bad considering I do intervals of 5 minutes (run 3 minutes/walk 2 minutes) and am morbidly obese and don't, as they say, take care of myself. The boys' father did it in 25 minutes; Minor, 30 minutes; and Minisculus 36 minutes.



I have a small turkey breast and stuffing and an apple pie for later. This morning we're having a big breakfast with sausage and Belgian waffles.

All the best to everyone!

Craft: Paper Landmarks: Chichen Itza & Taj Mahal

I did two paper landmarks today: Chichen Itza (Mayan temple in Mexico) and the Taj Mahal. The former came off much better than the latter, which was dodgy.

The only one left in the book that I'm genuinely keen to do is Saint Basil's. I might do the Great Wall of China, too.

I am going to keep the book in case Minor or Minisculus have a school project. I still have American monuments (White House, Statue of Liberty, the Golden Gate Bridge) and Catholic ones (Christ the Redeemer, Saint Peter's).
