Happy Thanksgiving to all of my friends and family in Canada. I can remember so many celebrations when I was young. We’d celebrate Canadian Thanksgiving with friends and family in Canada, then they would celebrate American Thanksgiving with us in Detroit. Since the majority of my friends and all of my family in Canada are Italian it is an especially meaningful day of celebration.


Yesterday morning we met our friend Mike for breakfast in downtown Ann Arbor. Susan and I then walked around downtown stopping at places we didn’t know or hadn’t been to in some time. These are window paintings at Sweetwater. I remember taking a drawing class around 30 years ago and sitting in here drawing with class.
