The kids and I drove through the dry and dusty hills up to Los Altos yesterday. What would normally have been a long one was shortened by The Teenager's excellent command of the wheel.
I had packed Sophie's drugs in the Laduree bag that my friend Sarah had left when she visited some months ago. From Parisienne pastries to benzos and cannabis -- nice reprposing, no?
My aunt's dog Enrico took a liking to Sophie, and she to him.
Here's my father and his mini me:
I'll have more pictures and thoughts later. Until then, Happy Thanksgiving. I sure am grateful for this extraordinary life.
Happy Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteSophie and Enrico! MY HEART JUST EXPLODED!

ReplyDeleteHappy American Thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving to you, too, and to your beautiful family.
ReplyDeleteGreetings from London.
My god, your children are beautiful. And that picture of Sophie and the little dog made my day.
ReplyDeleteHappy thanksgiving, Elizabeth. So thankful for you and your words and your being-out-there.
Are you still on NorCal? I can be there in an hour. Say the word. My new dog would love Sophie you!
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving! Sophie and Enrico is the most wonderful thing.
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving to you and your beautiful family. It is amazing to me how much Henry resembles your father. It will be interesting as he grows to see if they are as much alike on the inside.
ReplyDeleteI hope that - in spite of the exhaustion brought on by the sleeping arrangements with Sophie, which sounded difficult and painful - you got some rest and refreshment from the loving company of your family.
