Frivolous Filler Friday

In a normal year, I would be in line at Kohl's with my coupons for Black Friday shopping.  2020 isn't normal, so I'm off to San Saba with Ray for a quick visit to Aunt Pat's . I'll come home Saturday for some time on my own - to read, chill out, and watch some holiday movies on the big screen. 
People who care nothing for their country's stories...are like people without a past - without a memory - they are half people - Alasdair Gray
As I walk, solitary, unattended

Around me I hear that eclat of the world

    Walt Whitman

Sunsets, snakes, San Saba - plenty of stories will be told on Friday night. I hope you and family are enjoying a quiet holiday weekend - staying safe

 And after the turkey feast on Thursday, there's always a Tex-Mex meal Fri, Sat, or Sunday.  Enchiladas, anyone?

Happy Friday

    I haven't been out and about yet. Maybe I'll see what's going on in the Black Friday world. Probably not as insane as it would normally be.

      My sister reported from Delaware - not insane. She was okay but they did not dine. Strictly take out after some shopping.

    Hi Joanne - makes sense ... joining in, yet giving Ray and his aunt time together and you some excellent time home alone with a book, or film ... enjoy - stay safe ... Hilary

      Yep - glad you understand. I left at 7:30 this am and was home by 11 am. Could chill, do laundry, nap, read, and watch tv. It was a rainy day after all and I'm glad I came home

    Eww, a Tex Mex after-meal sounds and looks fabulous. I hope you've thoroughly enjoyed, Joanne.

    Love the quotes you've chosen, especially the one about a country's stories making up the collective socio-cultural memory - so true!
    Enjoy the holiday weekend, stay safe and well.

      thanks. Those quotes stuck out - they were in the Wall Street journal. It's been a very low key weekend which I needed.

    Well not getting stomped by black friday nuts is a win, right?

      I won - did not venture out. My sister did in Delaware - said it was rather quiet and lacked spirit. She spent a few dollars, but nothing crazy occurred. Said she felt social distanced enough.

      often quotes spur a post for me. Often good to ponder. No need for a sorry - just glad you popped round.
