We feasted. And then we had to digest. And that meant laying on the floor.

Found a little dinosaur on the sidewalk outside Writers & Books. Put them on the fence post so they’d have a higher view of NOTA.

MAMAs House housies Thanksgiving potluck outing, followed by a screening of “Red One” at Tinseltown. So lovely to hang with the gals and rekindle a pre-pandemic tradition.

Sausage-Bacon Roll from Crust Pie Co. at the Brighton Farmers Market (winter location on Westfall). SO tasty, and paired nicely with apple cider from Schutt’s.

Rochester-area readers: Bleak House Books in Honeoye Falls has a limited number of $10 book credits for kids to buy a book or two for themselves when they come in. It's a great store! www.instagram.com/p/DCuu0sZRaU...
