Thanksgiving Weekend So Far, Part 3

Maggi and Matt's friends Tim and Lynn had us over for the most marvelous Peking Duck dinner. The evening was lovely, the food was delicious and the people were most welcoming and interesting. And I'm not even gonna talk about the wine....!



















Two words: :D!!

Thanksgiving Weekend So Far, Part 2

The 5k!

Thanksgiving day, Turkey Trot 5k run for the Red Cross. Maggi roped me in, but this time I wasn't sick or hungover. It was colder at 32°, but I felt better and was in a good mood! Oh, yes, and was wearing more clothes than last time!






Decided to wear my gloves too, because I didn't want to loose any fingers ;)



Grim looking morning!


And we're off!
It was kind of madness because they weren't very organized and there were walkers, baby strollers and dogs and there was no clear "go" signal...


But it was alright!


Matt even joined us on his way to his bike ride.... Hey Matt!
(no pictures of Maggi because she lost me pretty early in the game)


Duckies!


Did I mention grim?



35:12!
I took my own time because they announced they would only give out the times for the first 100 people.... Still wondering about why they did that...


Yay, finished!

Going home, temperature read
(note the snow flake, in case we hadn't noticed the cold)


To finish it off: MIMOSAS!


:D
