It's American Thanksgiving Day today!
I'm not American, but I have friends who are, and for maybe 3 years now, we've been part of their Thanksgiving celebrations: turkey, beer-can chicken, mashed potatoes, salads, pumpkin pie (they taught me to pronounce it "punkin' pie"), cream, rootbeer...these were just what I tried. There were lot other stuff I didn't have room for after my daughter passed on to me the ice cream cone she made with Cofhocolate Truffle ice cream...
Learning, again, of the history of Thanksgiving celebrations; sharing what we're grateful for; listening to others share about what they're grateful for; crazy games that make you lose your voice because you laughed so hard; picture-taking -- drowsy eyes! pout! open your mouth! -- that makes you laugh harder...
Seeing old friends, making new friends.
It was a big day. And it was definitely something to be thankful for!
By the way...I left the bag with the camera, so I don't have pics. Still, I'm not regretting that mistake. I was able to just sit down and enjoy the food. Otherwise, I'd be running around taking pictures of everyone and everything -- without a flash, too! -- the turkey might be gone before I sit down to dinner.
Thank You, Lord! ; )
