Today we drove with Aaron up 

to Peter and Evelyn 's home for their annual 

"day after" Thanksgiving feast, 

and it was one of the best. 

The conversation was constant 

and friendly fun, and the food, 

as always  at their home, 

was as perfect as food can get. 

I over-ate, 

but that's what's so easy to do 

when you're with some wonderful friends. 

The drive up and back 

was relaxing and easy for me, 

since I sat in the back and wrote a few poems

and listened to some spiritual readings. 

Cia drove both ways, 

and she and Aaron had great conversation, 

like two good friends 

instead of mom and son.
