A beautiful music video for a Saturday morning.

Love this photo and article in the NYTIMES today. Just bought and gifted this box set. It’s some of the most exciting Ella I’ve heard in a long time.

It was a warm and delightful November evening when friends and strangers brought their best selection of sides to go along with our warm host’s wonderful turkey, gravy and stuffing for what would be a delightful preview to the holiday ahead.

N&M did an amazing job as hosts last eve. Many thanks to them, and hopefully today’s leftovers do not put me back into a turkey coma!
