feeling the feels

of gratitude.

From sitting on my veranda this morning with my pumpkin cheesecake watching all the runners huff/puff up the hill (I SO wish I had gotten photos of some of the costumes~turkey tutus were my favorite.  Although there were some funny turkey leg hats that were photo worthy),

 

to a gorgeous pre-dinner stroll (and nap, if we're being all about honesty)

to a lovely meal with new Austin friends/colleagues and their adoring puppy.  She slept on my feet most of the evening.  Grate-full.  (Although that makes me sound like the little cinder girl, doesn't it?)
