The photo hunt was the street lights located at the confusing intersection where Appleton Ave., Menomonee Avenue and Pilgrim Road all come together. Both Paul Wickesberg (Paul's Falls) and Margie R. correctly identified it this week! Paul told me in his email, "Did you know that years ago former public works director, Dennis Droese, actually named them? They were known as Huey, Dewey and Louie." I, of course, did not know this. Did you?

I was gambling with the photo this week. I thought it would be either too easy, or very hard. Every day I drive down Appleton Avenue as I head home from Germantown and can see the glow from blocks away! However, my husband never even noticed the lights until I made him stop the car so I could take a picture. I wondered how many others have passed them countless times without really seeing them.

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving Day, and my plans are quite simple. My husband's grandmother is taking the family out for dinner. This is the second time we've done this, the first time was about five years ago, and it was when my husband's grandfather was still alive. It was his [grandfather's] idea, and while it seemed very very wrong to be eating Thanksgiving dinner at a restaurant, it actually was very enjoyable. I won't list all the perks, but I'll get to the most important one: NO CLEAN UP! It was heavenly.

I'll most likely start out the day tomorrow with a quick workout at the YMCA, then I'm going to park myself on the sofa and watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. I've watched the parade for the past two years, I don't really know why I haven't watched the parade prior to that because I really enjoy the performances.

Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
