DECISIONS DECISIONS DECISIONS

Next Thursday is Thanksgiving Day. . . .and I am planning my get away for later this afternoon. Time for me to go home. . . .and to the Portugese Bakery. . to 'test the waters'. . . . Things have been a little chilly of late. . .Distance does not necessarily "make the heart grow fonder".

One of the axioms of a relationship is COMMUNICATION. "A relationship is only as good as its communication." Portugese Pete and I have had some commuication glitches in the past few weeks. . . .since the last weekend I was home.

We are still 'honeys' but the honey-pot needs some beefing up. So I am getting out of here early. . . .one of the bennies of being a grad-student and i won;t be back til the Sunday after Turkey Day. . . .gobble gobble. . . .and I do need some dark meat. . .hehehee

Driving home, after I cross the Sagamore bridge from 'mainland' Massachsetts onto Cape Cod, I see all the familiar landmarks. . . the long stretch of no passing . .a single lane on each side. . .no crossing over. . .till we get to the Orleans roundsbout. . ..then things are better to the well-watched small towns with the Law waiting to ticket speeders. . . .can be lucrative some weekends. . .as I get closer and closer along Route 6 to the turn off for Justin Dunes and HOME. . . . down the narrow winding road marked with scrub pine and dune grass to the big white house with the wrap around porch. . . . .aaaaahhhh . .chez moi.

I forget to mention that Madame Bouvier is travelling with me. . . .home for the holidays. She is a good travelling companion.. ..she knows when to chatter on, and then drift off into her own thoughts. . . always the good listener. . .rarely if ever negative about things. . . .she can find the good in everything. . .well, almost. . . . .Gramm is quite the gal. . . .;-)

Well, enough of my reveries. . . .Gramm has just called me to lunch. . .then we need to pack up and hit the road. . . .sigh.

Later, Duuudes. . . .

You are soooo right. Communication is key. Sometimes distance can really hinder that. Share everything with him and hopefully he'll do the same. It's difficult to know what's going on when you are not there.
Enjoy your week off.; November 20, 2009 at 3:07 PM
J said...: Oh how I envy you. I'm going through the roughest two weeks of the year, and will be working Sunday and over Thanksgiving weekend. ( Maybe Christmas will be better. ); November 20, 2009 at 8:04 PM

Anyway, I hope you and Portugese Pete manage to rekindle the flickering flame.

And happy Thanksgiving.; November 20, 2009 at 10:00 PM
