Tree was set up on Saturday and as I write this Sunday afternoon is awaiting ornaments.
Thanksgiving gathering last Thursday was marvelous.
Lots of new memories made.
Turkey turned out as the best I've ever made. Fresh, locally raised made the difference as did the dry herb and salt rub I used the day before. Lots of yummy leftovers including turkey pot pie and turkey coconut curry. Soup still to be made too.
Checked my record keeping and discovered I hadn't hosted Thanksgiving since 2012 when we still lived in the Lodge. It was the last Thanksgiving we spent with my Mom. She died then in September 2013.
But now it's time for Christmas preparations.
