I am tired today, but I have also been busy, so I am late at posting. Jan, Tom's sister, stayed over and went to Friday breakfast with us. Then back home Jake arrived from staying at Jill's empty house to eat left overs for lunch, sort of watch the USA play England in the World Cup, and make another wreath, this one for his office in Friday Harbor. I helped with the wreath and then sat to watch the last 20 minutes of the soccer match.
I had a light lunch of non-left overs - I'll have those for dinner - and then did a bit of work. I took down the dining room, put things away, then sat down to make my grocery shopping list for Christmas baking. I think I'll get the fruitcake done this weekend.
We had a good Thanksgiving Day. I didn't take a lot of photos. Keeping myself going was hard work, but I asked for and got help and everything turned out great.
The table conversation was lively and ranged from Volcanos and plate tectonics to black holes colliding to Grand Prix auto racing and lots of stuff in between. We do science here.
Then we went to the garage to make wreaths. Last year some of our group weren't to sure about this project, but more really got into it this year.
Then we had pie. And talked some more.
It was a very good day.
You have so much fun at all your celebrations. We had our first family party in.... how many years? We asked everyone to test themselves before coming and we... for the first time... went without masks. And it was wonderful too! Your Thanksgiving plate looks absolutely scrumptious! Making wreaths looked like so much fun!
