Gratitude Eve

4.  Gluten Free Mama's Pizza Crust Mix.  Gluten free pizza crust that tastes like the real thing.  So says the package.  I gave it a 4 out of 4 on ease of preparation.  And a 4 on texture and taste.
(What is the scale?  The laboratorians' scale of 0 to 4+ of course. Graded on a curve against other gluten free pizza crust mixes.)  Also the package directions say (and I quote) :  Allow to rest for about 15-30 minutes.  Gotta love a recipe that demands a rest period.   I will be adding this step to as many recipes as possible.
5.  Porch Lanterns.  First year in forever that we did not have a pumpkin to carve.  Missing one six foot tall bed sheet ghost this evening.  But flickering tealights in the porch lanterns on a beautiful fall evening welcoming little candy beggars?  Does a soul good.
6.  Cell Phone Service.  One mother traveling 65 mph south to north in rural Wyoming and one daughter traveling the speed limit (I'm sure) west to east across Pensylvania.  Only losing connection two times in an hour.  No idea how that works, but I am thankful for the time to engage in meandering travel chatter with someone who means the world to me.
