Mt Rainer was staring right at me as I rounded the corner, bigger than heck. She’s not always around this time of year but not today. All I can think of is that Steve our visitor from Arkansas didn’t get a chance to see her.

I have nothing particular on my mind this morning as I write but thought that I had better get started. Blue sky out the window, unusual. We have a little period of high pressure in between storms. One coming tonight and then one Tuesday. So today and Monday will be nice. Well monday is Monday Night Football from Seattle so we put in for decent weather.

Last night I finished “Pilgrimage” the book about Pope Francis. That was a good read and I got a much clearer picture of the man. Hopefully you will get a chance to check it out soon. It is very timely and makes sense for us all here today so don’t hesitate. If you have been good maybe you will get it for Christmas.

Also, it is our good luck that we have a quantity of Phil’s Camino patches in from Annie O’Neil. We have enough to give away to folks that come here to walk. Yea, easy peasy, come by. Thanks Annie! She’s really our quirky fairy godmother. Love you!

And William sends pics of snow in Calgary. Pilgrim Farmer John says there is snow in the air there in Iowa. Steve Watkins is back in Arkansas doing book signings with his new “Pilgrim Strong” Camino book. Angela is back in Sydney after her trip here this last summer. I haven’t heard lately from the crew at the Santiago church in Lake Forest. And I haven’t heard from Padre Tomas recently. What’s up? The Marauders are hard at work in their area of influence where there is no snow I might add. And Cris is back in Buenos Aires enjoying late Spring, miss you. It has been such a rich year full of many great people! I have much to be thankful for.

And a Happy Thanksgiving to you all, turkey loves, Felipe.
