Lesson 927: Encapsulated

 

A Thanksgiving Hello, Readers!

This photo from earlier this week

is deceiving--

we are having a cold, and wintry holiday

here in Erie.

Here are the birds one day,

and here the next!

Let me encapsulate the past week for you!

Wicked for Good was just that---Good!

So was a Wicked Brunch at The Cork,

right down to the sparkly French toast!

Sam walked down the yellow brick road

in his ruby red shoes...

or to the old, familiar

high school gym.

Slam and Truck 

together again

playing in the Alumni Game.

Even the cheering squad showed up!

And now, as I type this,

I can hear their laughter bubbling up from the basement.

telling stories of new places,

and adventures of young adulthood.

Where does the time go?

Is there a way to bottle it up?

Perhaps this blog is a way to do that.

Clark School found a way to do it.

A time capsule assembled in the year 2000

was opened on Monday.

It contained so many interesting things!

\

The Class of 2000 put together the time capsule

because they opened one that was assembled in 1987-88!

That one contained some very old photos of Clark School--

and the history of the old quilt that hung in the foyer.

Time is precious.

and it does fly.

How did Eloise and family pass the time on Thanksgiving?
For starters,

we all agreed our dinner this year

was perfect.

The perfect amount of food.

The perfect amount of side dishes.

And the perfect amount of snow to start off the holiday season.

I really enjoy picking at the puzzles

the offer to readers of the Erie Times News.

Yes, we still get the actual paper!

Grandma also bought us this large sized word find.

Natalie likes to help look for the first letters.

We are glad she didn't look to the second letters and beyond.

It started out fine with the traditional terms--

I questioned the Sweet Tea

but as

I've been in a bubble most of my life

I thought, ok--maybe.

Whoops.  

Recipes.

I've made that one before.

Then things got interesting.

I hope the Native Americans forgive the spelling.

but 

What.

The.

Heck??

I'm headed to bed 

to dream of the Mashed Pofatoes I'm craving

but won't eat before bed.

I'll dream of a footbal season with one 1--

the one where Penn State wins the National Championship.

Have a great weekend!

Eloise
