Monday, John\u2019s friend Michael S. came to visit. Tuesday we drove to Little Rock for our COVID tests, then Alison treated us to a delicious Thanksgiving dinner. We spent our last night in town having dinner with Chuck at The Bugler restaurant at the racetrack. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Flavia was not happy with us when we first got back home, but has since glued herself to me, so I think I\u2019m forgiven. She\u2019s been on my lap all morning as I finished reading Stegner\u2019s \u201cAngle of Repose\u201d (what a lovely read!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"320\" height=\"240\" src=\"http:\/\/www.criplomats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/BDB2464C-C691-48EA-A5EC-E4ED9CB6C02C-edited-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6507\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.criplomats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/BDB2464C-C691-48EA-A5EC-E4ED9CB6C02C-edited-1.jpeg 320w, https:\/\/www.criplomats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/BDB2464C-C691-48EA-A5EC-E4ED9CB6C02C-edited-1-300x225.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 320px) 100vw, 320px\" \/><figcaption>With Jackie and Pebbles<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"320\" height=\"240\" src=\"http:\/\/www.criplomats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/B6A61938-A6B0-4486-A572-4E670FE9F71E.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6508\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.criplomats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/B6A61938-A6B0-4486-A572-4E670FE9F71E.jpeg 320w, https:\/\/www.criplomats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/B6A61938-A6B0-4486-A572-4E670FE9F71E-300x225.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 320px) 100vw, 320px\" \/><figcaption>Hot Springs view from West Mountain<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"320\" height=\"240\" src=\"http:\/\/www.criplomats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/71A39E37-2119-4629-BADB-1BFCD95824F8.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6509\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.criplomats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/71A39E37-2119-4629-BADB-1BFCD95824F8.jpeg 320w, https:\/\/www.criplomats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/71A39E37-2119-4629-BADB-1BFCD95824F8-300x225.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 320px) 100vw, 320px\" \/><figcaption>West Mountain<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"240\" height=\"320\" src=\"http:\/\/www.criplomats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/548ADAF0-2AF2-4C88-8758-A7BB635E5C04-edited.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6511\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.criplomats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/548ADAF0-2AF2-4C88-8758-A7BB635E5C04-edited.jpeg 240w, https:\/\/www.criplomats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/548ADAF0-2AF2-4C88-8758-A7BB635E5C04-edited-225x300.jpeg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 240px) 100vw, 240px\" \/><figcaption>Thanksgiving<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"240\" height=\"320\" src=\"http:\/\/www.criplomats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/9BFC9C2B-831C-46F9-9FA4-540EF01AE264-edited.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6513\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.criplomats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/9BFC9C2B-831C-46F9-9FA4-540EF01AE264-edited.jpeg 240w, https:\/\/www.criplomats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/9BFC9C2B-831C-46F9-9FA4-540EF01AE264-edited-225x300.jpeg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 240px) 100vw, 240px\" \/><figcaption>Last morning at the lake<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"320\" height=\"240\" src=\"http:\/\/www.criplomats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/68CBE3EF-1B0C-4584-AAF3-4DA0B71F5658.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6514\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.criplomats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/68CBE3EF-1B0C-4584-AAF3-4DA0B71F5658.jpeg 320w, https:\/\/www.criplomats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/68CBE3EF-1B0C-4584-AAF3-4DA0B71F5658-300x225.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 320px) 100vw, 320px\" \/><figcaption>Clouds over Atlanta airport<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"320\" height=\"240\" src=\"http:\/\/www.criplomats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/5C69FA6C-2B33-466A-A5A5-CDCB1004ED2B.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6515\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.criplomats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/5C69FA6C-2B33-466A-A5A5-CDCB1004ED2B.jpeg 320w, https:\/\/www.criplomats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/5C69FA6C-2B33-466A-A5A5-CDCB1004ED2B-300x225.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 320px) 100vw, 320px\" \/><figcaption>Back in Monrovia<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u2026we\u2019re back in Monrovia!
