And back to reality...

In the best way.

We watched college and professional football- cheering for close games, and officially becoming new fanatics...We also traveled up to Canada- Osoyoos, BC- just for fun.  It was for "lunch" on Friday of the Thanksgiving weekend, which sounded suspicious.  We were able to convince the border we were just crazy, but it was a bit touch and go on my heart and emotions.  

We traveled through North-Central Washington's wine country, and then into the start of British Columbia's- Osoyoos.  It was beautiful- going the long way through the mountains, then the "short" way through the Colville Reservation. Differently beautiful- the Grand Coulee Dam, industry, but not the same as an otherwise protected forest.

All I can say is that it was lovely- the weekend as a whole...shopping for the "big" meal together and "picking" out a turkey; cooking and preparing and eating together; enjoying leftovers and exploring our Northern neighbor; watching college football and pro-football...sleeping in and chatting with far away family.  So nice.  So peaceful.
