thanksgiving

We had a lovely thanksgiving. Pretty quiet morning. I prepared cranberries (both regular and spicy NPR ) - Sawyer helped me wash them and when I let him try one he couldn't stop eating them - yep, raw! Steve prepped the green beans. We took a long walk (well, long by Sawyer standards - an hour with no complaining either!) in our woods, had a small lunch of mac-n-cheese, with herring and crackers. Sawyer took a long nap and so did I, while Steve did some work in the shop.

We had dinner with friends, which was a beautiful, huge spread and it was great to spend time with everyone. There were candles on the table and that was the biggest attraction for Sawyer (although the abundance of trucks on the floor between courses was a big draw too).

I almost forgot to blog today. I was just in bed reading my new book - Plenty - and I think I read something about time, looked at the clock, and realized it was 11:14 and I hadn't blogged!

It felt like a really long day, which was nice because I have three more - may they be just as long!
