How are you? What have you been doing?
We took the train to Philadelphia and celebrated Thanksgiving with our lovely daughter and son-in-law. The train was over an hr late getting in which put us on it for over twelve hrs and a good portion of that was spent with no working toilet in our car. Next year I think we are either going to try the sleeper or fly.
Views from the train:
The squirrels and birds ate well too.
We went to Longwood Gardens Friday. (Pictures to follow.) Then headed home Saturday.
A few days later we woke up to this:
Nori came to us Thursday. We already have a problem. I caught her drinking my coffee.
Callie is still unnerved and is not impressed that her spot on my lap has been usurped by the interloper.
That's it for now. Hoping to get one more post out before the Holidays. How are you doing?
Be well.

Glad you had a good Thanksgiving
Sigh on the train woes. The rest of your trip sounds and looks good. I like your winter wonderland.
Nori is just fulfilling her job as your new taste tester.
That is a long daytime train journey but it sounds like you had an excellent time away.
If some of your coffee being consumed by Nori is the worst that happens, you will have done very well.
Looks like you had fun. I've never taken a train ride. It sounds fun.
Genial fin de semana.
Hi Sandra - all well here ... winds still buffeting; funny about Nori - but I guess better than your wine!! Perhaps?! Looks like a lovely time with your daughter and SIL, travelling is a pain ... end of story! Get them to come to you - then no travel?! Glad the four-legs are happy and getting along slowly ... cheers Hilary
Perhaps your most heartfelt expression of thanks was when the train finally rolled into the station! That cheese tray made it all worthwhile!
Apart from the overly long train without a working toilet, it sounds like quite a wonderful time, with family and the gardens, too. But that was a bumpy start!
Looks like you had an enjoyable Thanksgiving!! Love the Kitty's nose shot!
hugs
Donna
Thanks, Christine.
Hi Andrew, Yes. Yes. And yes.
Jamie, If it had been of shorter duration, for the most part it would have been fun. I think you'd probably enjoy taking the train. A lot of the enjoyment depends on the conductors.
Yes:) Hope yours was, JP.
Aonymously Esther O'Neill, East of the Sun,and yesterday, the company booked to connect us cried off, again. Brilliant photos, but for a long train journey, I'd recommend Scandi - Narvik, Arctic Circle, to Stockholm. i hour late, on an almost 24 hrs journey, apologised endlessly and breakfast free -couldn't have anybody going hungry. All polumbiong worked too.
EC, The rest was excellent. Hope all is well on your end.
I'd recommend the sleeper, Sandra. Happy Holidays!

Hi Hils, Ha on the wine;) Spending time with my daughter and SIL is always special. They'll be coming in and cooking for Christmas. Yay! Don't let the winds buffet you around.
Cheers,
David, Indeed:) The cheese tray was yummy:)
Hi Donna, It was wonderful. Hope yours was. Hugs received and returned.
Your train experience sounds much, much better than ours:)
Free breakfast is a nice binnie.
Hi Blue, Happy Holidays to you. How are you?
Good Ketch-up day, Sandra. Every time I see squirrels, I think of Peanut. Sigh.
Looks like a perfect trip except for the lack of bathroom facilities on the train. A sleeper sounds like a good way to go next time. Beautiful pics and hopefully your coffee stays safe! Xo
Jacqui, Hugs.
Hi Denise, My bro and SIL are coming in on a sleeper so I'll be getting more info.
A wonderful trip and a most happy time by the looks and sound of it, Sandra. Great! I'm glad you had such a lovely time. :)
Agree on all counts, Jeanie;)
Dropping in to say hello! I hope you are well!
Thank you so much, Lee. We had a grand time.
Always super fun to see your amazing pics, and a HUGE YES to Christmas 🎄 movies 🎬 🤩 Hope you've been doing well, and getting my snail mail. The light is always on. 🥰 Hugs, RO
