Thanksgiving

I'm Thankful for beautiful fall weather and dinner that is late enough in the day that we could enjoy the outdoors before gathering with family.

We started the day with a delightful ride in Dimple Dell Park. The weather was great. Not too cold and the sun was peaking out from the clouds just enough to keep us warm and turn our cheeks a little rozy. The Preston's came along for our adventure.
I am Thankful for a Red Tail Hawk, that awed us by circling over our heads, then gliding back into the tree we were standing under, to look us over, than taking flight again and flying away.

I'm Thankful for family dinners, food enough too loosen our belts, a little hugging, a little laughing, sharing of stories, new recipes to try, new friends to share the evening, family coming in from out of town and pie. Our favorites are pumpkin, lemon merinque, coconut cream, pumpkin cheese cake. Is there a pie that doesn't make your mouth water, and your taste buds cry for more. (Maybe rhubarb or gooseberry! Sorry Dad! I know these are some of your favorites!)



Happy Thanksgiving!
