Dear Liza,
After days of preparation, Thursday was the Go To Day for Thanksgiving. The turkey thighs went into the slow cooker, the mince tarts came out of the fridge, and Auntie Bridgett’s spicy sweet yams went into the oven.
I am sorry to say I didn’t take any pictures of the cooking…. I was busy cooking! I really get into the process and sort of forget to photo document.
When Auntie Katie and the Cousins came, they brought two delicious pies and a turkey shaped challah bread. What a feast!
When we had eaten and chatted, had wine and desserts, we played some guitar, made each other laugh, and watched a movie none of us had ever heard of! Mouse took advantage of some company lap time.
Auntie Katie’s buddy Kitty recommended “Strange Magic”, an animated story about fairies and elves, with modern music and a wry sense of humor. It was just what was needed.
Cousin Kestrel got into her drawing, as usual. She has such a way with a pencil! And Cousin Jasper, using his just-a-few-days-early 12th birthday present, played a game of chess with Grandpa Nelson.
When we were all fed and worn out, we went to our own beds and slept like logs.
It was a lovely, loving Thanksgiving.
Love,
Grandma Judy
Dear Liza 
So good reading about your day. So sweet to see Mouse cuddling. I had a most enjoyable day as well. I’ll write more detail after I catch up on the letter writing. Hugs, Me
