My World of Wonders - aka The Wednesday Ws The last one for November in 2025

 

Where have I been this week?  The Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts to hear the National Symphony Orchestra. The MGM Casino at National Harbor (before you worry, I lost $2 playing video poker and I had a nice walk inside on a cold blustery day.) King Street.  The treadmill in the gym, the pool, an long drive out to Fairfax Virginia in search of art supply stores. Mt Vernon for a long walk in the cold. Fresh Market and Trader Joe's for a little shopping. 

Who have a talked to this week? My sweet bear. The Arts gang. Paul, Giuseppe, Larry, Ruth. 

Who have a traded messages with this week? Spo, Sassy, my sister. Kell who is planning a long delayed trip to Florence. The Arts gang. 

What have I been up to in the Kitchen?  Chilli, Steaks, roast beef, baked bread to make dressing for Thanksgiving.

What is happening in the photo above? The crew is putting a bow on the green package, lifting it in place with electric chain falls from overhead, in the Atrium at the MGM Grand Hotel at National Harbor. There was a crew of 15 people changing out the Atrium display for the winter holidays when I was there the other day. 

What made me go Huh this week?  While out and about, we decided to have lunch at McDonalds, something we rarely do, and I almost always think this is the last time ever.  We waited 25 minutes for our order to be filled.  Will I ever again? 

What is happening? Our old friend Kent is going to be in town for the holiday, and we are meeting for lunch on Saturday. Next Monday is a big arts party, then on Friday we are installing an art show. The party and the show opening being on the same week is driving me nuts.
