Thanksgiving Celebration

We went over to Steve and Jan's for Thanksgiving this year, so our total travel was about two block--on foot, and in great weather. We've been watching the storms in the north and the transportation difficulties, so we know how lucky we are. Here's Steve carving the turkey, which turned out moist and delicious.


Pat and Bob Boink joined us, bringing butternut squash and apple salad and apple bread (thanks to Michigan apples).


Jan made the dressing and gravy and mashed potatoes and lots of munchies.


As usual, we had plenty of food and drink and good conversation. We gave thanks for our friends, those present and those far away, and many other blessings. After dinner we played a round of golf--the card game, of course. Then we had the pumpkin pie to top off the celebration. One of the neighbors stopped by with her little dog, Peanut, who is Steve's friend. We think Peanut smelled the turkey too!

We talked to some of our family members and texted or left voicemails for others. Everyone seems to be doing well. We hope all our readers have had a great Thanksgiving, too.
