A mild day… mid 50’s… sunshine… autumn leaves glowing as we ride along the highway… bright reds… orangey hues… brilliant yellows lighting up the roadway between trees with bare arms… birds in flocks overhead practicing for their long migrations soon… driving in light traffic… grateful for the opportunity to be with family after last years pandemic meals 🥰
Picking up Mom and her sweet aide… joining us on our drive and for supper… she is thrilled to be able to be with the family once again… with everyone vaxxed and many already boosted she is safe among us 🙃
Arriving at our destination… happy… hungry… filled with anticipation… settling in for delightful conversation… delicious hors d’oeuvres… a sumptuous repast… lots of love and laughter around the thanksgiving table
Appetizer of shrimp and crab salad with boiled egg halves atop… so decadent 🍤 🦀 Supper: Perfectly roasted turkey 🦃 with couple of extra legs wrapped in bacon 🥓 homemade green bean casserole 🥘 delicious stuffing… creamy mashed potatoes 🥔 sweet potato bake 🍠 crisp green salad 🥗 sliced tomatoes and onions 🍅🧅 gravy and lots of wine 🍷
Fruit course of honeydew 🍈 cantelope, strawberries 🍓 and watermelon 🍉 followed by chocolate covered cheesecake 🥮 tea 🫖 and coffee ☕️
This weekend we will be having our own small thanksgiving meal at home giving us the opportunity to enjoy leftovers in the coming days 🦃😋
Driving back to Mom’s… all of us full and pleased with the days enjoyment… light conversation… a few more laughs… an excellent day 🥰❤️
A reminder… our family has chosen to be fully vaxxed and boosted against both the flu and covid… this gave us the ability to gather with our oldest member… my 91 year old Mom… our youngest member… a 3 month old baby boy… without feeling afraid of getting our loved ones sick, hospitalized… or worse… please consider your friends and family when making decisions about your vaccination status 😷💕
How was your day? What’s on your plate? Thoughts
