Surprise bounty

This day after Thanksgiving was a day of fun and plenty. Don, my beach friend and pilot, and I went to the Va. Air Museum to see some amazing airplanes. Don never met a staranger and started talking to a volunteer guide there. The next thing I knew he was climbing into a tiny Vultee aircraft built about 1930 and used as an executive plane for passengers like Clark Gable, Carole Lombard and Randolph Hearst. I followed. It was quite plush inside and complete with a bathroom about as big as an elf room.
Afterwards a short auto tour of Richmond covered historical sites. As we headed home we drove around some trash in the road. On second glance it was tomatoes and mushrooms, almost ready for a salad. On Don's insistance, we gathered enough for us to share and use ourselves. They'll go well with our Turkey Day leftovers.
Life is good and bountiful. Just look around. There's bounty in the least expected places.
