Last minute visitors

I've been "taking it easy" since getting discharged 2 weeks ago from "pneumonia treatmetn."  And it's been pretty easy in my small digs these days.  My friends insisted that I don't "over do it."

But last week I got a text message about getting together for Thanksgiving. I did quickly say I couldn't travel this time.  So I expect some visitors.  And I can't hostess a feast, I'm afraid.

This lady doesn't wish to turn anyone away, however, so I found a restaurant that had a reservation still open. All of the ones I'd preferred were already completely booked.

This town (Asheville and Black Mountain) apparently has lots of folks who don't wish to do the whole feast thing at home these days!

I'm excited to see my grands and my son and his wife.  This will be a whirlwind visit of just 2 nights and one day, and they will stay in a nearby motel.

There's the lovely sleeping goddess figure on my windowsill (pic above).  I got this from another follower of goddess history who had visited Malta, where there are temples and even an underground system of rooms called the Hypogenium.  For information on Malta in the Mediterranean Sea try this link...HERE.

When our apartment management sent a young woman to clean the insides of my new windows, she moved the little figure to a table.  Later she said to me it looked like where she came from.  I said, that's from Malta.

Indeed she had been born and raised in Malta!  She said she even gave tours of the Hypogenium where this little statue had been found.  We talked briefly, and she stopped by later on her way to another job.  What a small world this is!

And this week, I am very grateful that my son and family will drive all the way to see me.  I feel so blessed.

Now back to work cleaning up!

When we finally stop explaining to ourselves, we may discover that in silence,
complete understanding is already there.” ~Steve Hagen~
