The house smells pretty wonderful. Right now, there is a roasted turkey in the refrigerator, along side two dishes of stuffing, a bowl of gravy, and they are soon to be joined by a Pecan Pie (still a work in progress).
What are we doing? Isn't Thanksgiving about traditions?
....well, the only thing that seems to be consistent about our Thanksgivings is change! I will blog more tomorrow - on Thanksgiving proper - about family, and - yes, giving thanks.
But tomorrow will be something new for us - Sue and I will be walking, and Sara and Caitlin running, in a charity run in Wake Forest early in the morning. Once that is achieved, we will all come here to get ready for a mid-afternoon dinner. It just made sense to do most of the cooking today, so that tomorrow will be lower stress (and more efficient, cooking-wise).
Thanksgiving to me is always a day to reflect - and the older I get, there is much more to reflect back on. But that's for tomorrow....
(will I be able to keep my paws off the turkey or pie tonight.....)
