THE THANKSGIVING GATHERING

THANKSGIVING 2022

What a blessing it was to celebrate Thanksgiving Day
with family...missing just two...Rob and Noah.....
Noah in Montana at college and Rob down in Austin
who would be traveling in on Friday evening.....
Luke was just a delight on his entire visit!

I have vowed to plan a visit to their house sometime in the spring of 2023...
it's simply too long in between visits..
The Divine Miss M and our Luke the Duke...now fourteen!

Thanksgiving requires a lot of planning, cleaning, preparation,
shopping and cooking!

But I think it's so worth the effort once a year, don't you agree?

The two tables worked beautifully for our gathering of twelve....
it was a house full along with three dogs playing in the midst of all the activity...
with a cool autumn rain falling outside.....

The Pumpkin pie was heavenly........

One of our appetizers was from Barefoot Contessa...
White Chocolate Bark with pistachios, cranberries and apricots..
highly recommend this!

The appetizers.....

Morning Mimosa's for all.....

The boys did it again...
smoked turkey and fried turkey...best ever!
We certainly enjoyed Jay this visit....just love him!!!

A masterpiece of goodness.....

The buffet line.....

Happy Thanksgiving to all......

And so it begins....
