There was a cold start to the morning with single digit temperatures, but it warmed as the day moved forward -- back to usual higher daytime temperatures and overnight lows.
We went for a long drive to a friend's for Thanksgiving weekend luncheon. The meal was divine -- lovely seafood chowder, fresh rolls, mixed green salad and bread pudding. Conversation was lively and fun. It was a wonderful event with a local twist of food traditions of the time of year.
Some lovely leaves had turned in the forested hills along the drive there and back. We stopped for a wonderful ocean view, but with gale winds blowing straight in off the Atlantic. I enjoyed seeing the picturesque little villages along the way.
For those following the sage of the service provider, the latest brought more questions. The call back I was to promised about 24 hours ago, had not transpired. I called once I got settled when back home. I had to enter back at the beginning with lengthy wait time, but I was prepared. When I entered my account information, I was told there was an open ticket on my account. The recording noted that a service technician was to arrive sometime Tuesday afternoon (it is Thanksgiving weekend with Monday being the holiday here) and did I accept that time or not. Now my question is -- how was I to know of this so I could accept it if I didn't call back of my own accord? Why did someone not call to tell me the problem couldn't be fixed remotely (something I already knew with the time it was taking with the lack of a fix). At least, they could have left me a voice mail since the phone does take incoming calls as the last person clearly knew when she called me on that line last night. <sigh> Guess I need to find their social media page and ask a couple questions <shaking head>. I did ask to speak to someone, but after 30 minute wait I just gave up. Will try communicating in a less traditional way. Maybe semaphore or signal fires might work. <loud eye roll>.
The visit to the shore and small fishing villages reminded me of several songs from the man east coast musicians. I chose one by an iconic folk artist that tells of the hardships of sticking to the traditional way of life. Stay safe. Enjoy!
