Again, This is a free range, open thread:
ok, so what then, if the thanksgiving Tofurkey is only half-baked; at least the gravy is moist!
Gravy is the best part of the whole enterprise anyway. Anything that serves as its delivery device is cool with me.
Ah the wonderful @unk-p who so loves pets, plants and painting...oh yeah..when unk is spinning wheels, if not with Earth, Wind and Fire and revving up our mojo and my urge for a rooftop dancing party or to chase all our blues away, and bring back the memories of other times, people,places and things merging our worlds and our understandings of them, he's with his other love of spinning wheels--as our personal vinyl "disc jockey"! And "nobody does it better!"
For me, my personal roof-top lounge was literally climbing out our upstairs window...the one that half of it is a very quick trip (but not so fun trip) to the downstairs entry way in too big of a distance to fall in a hurry kind of way. However 1/3th of is gave excellent access to that magical rooftop lounge, meditation and trance visioning land of magic--my roof!
I'd turn on the stereo and hoist myself up and out and over in my window of space and time and access of opportunity. Usually in a nightgown and barefoot with my waist long hair down and wild in the wind! Oh "those were the days my friend, I thought they'd never end" but its still all there--roof top !Once a carload of college students pulled up while my eyes were closed ! I heard a girl scream "who's that up on your roof??" to one of my daughters.And as my eldest daughter calmly climbs out from the back she says "oh that's just my mom. She goes out there to meditate."
Let's just say, the word got out that "I was a witch as apparently from the then on "your mom scares me!" screamer"s world only witches sat up onto rooftops especially to meditate. ???
Ah yes the wonderful and always spinning turntable of the days of our lives! Love your lounge unk-p.
The view is wonderful from here and the music is always always de-light-full!
I'm playing music tag with unk-p and telling my stories too!
Who's next?
"Up on the Roof"
The Drifters
"And if this world starts getting you down there's room enough for two"
@lynnventura @unk-p
It's all gravy if you're up on the roof with the rest of us "Thanksgiving's going to be a lot different this year!' diners! So whether you're having turkey or tofurkey with gravy, and inspite of all challenges, we will still have food to eat, people and pets and music we love and are grateful for!
Everyone bring your T-day potluck meals and join us in our landof virtual possibilities. ! Unk will be spinning and DJ-ing!
@unk-p, this is such a cool idea! Thank you.
On this beautiful, crisp morning, I imagined myself joining you all on that revolving rooftop lounge, big cup of jo in hand, with a steaming bowl of steel cut oats with walnuts, raspberries, and chopped dark chocolate. (Chocolate always makes it better.) Together we watched the sun come up as I opened my eyes to the revolving landscape ... removing myself from my sometimes myopic view of the world.
I was recently reminded that the one thing we can count on is change. And that gives me comfort. ?
*The Revolving Rooftop Lounge now has convenient take out service- just wait here, until the second window pulls up to you!
@lynnventura Gravy is a beverage. ;-)
