Adventure 53: Manhattan, KS/Post J

Quite Elegant.

Before we know it Black Friday will blow its cloud of sad good bye over us, and we'll  hitch up Frac to hit the road. But for now we're basking in the pure white light of fortunate love. Judy, Karen, and Arlene are together as sisters should be. We husbands are warmed by their loving glow. Dinner was plentiful and excellent. Our blessings continue to mount. Clearly, the light  of small miracles shines everywhere. For example,

Yesterday, Judy and I talked to Emily and Sarah via SKYPE: Emily can snap fingers with each hand, and Sarah opens every sentence with, "You know what?"

You know what? Everybody's children are the bestest!
You know what? Every body's grandchildren are the cutestest.
You know what? Family makes us happy.
You know what? Friends make us happy, too.
You know what? Good memories and shared experience make us happy, too.
You know what? Even if you don't see yourself on this post, you make us happy.
You know what? If you scroll through your old photos, you'll make yourself happy.
You know what? Life is good, especially today.
