Turkey Time

This is only the second Thanksgiving we have spent in our Louisville home. In the most recent years, we have been in Spain, the Dominican Republic, Seattle and Minneapolis. While we are missing family this year, we worked hard to embrace the situation. D-man was excited to finally be having turkey on Thanksgiving Day after a three hiatus.

We watched our TV shows, enjoyed making the meal together, chatted with family over Zoom, played snooker and played cards online. 

Marshall made a delicious turkey with stuffing and gravy, I made green bean casserole and  D-man and I made homemade rolls and mashed potatoes. T-man got the table ready, poured the wine and found the electric knife for the turkey carving. We talked about what we were thankful for - T-man for family and the ability to learn; D-man for his health and living in a free country. We laughed about jello salad recipes in the VFW cookbook.

It was definitely not the Thanksgiving we planned, but we had a great day and a made the most of it.
