Hope everyone had a fantastic Thanksgiving. We did. This was a first for us. a right of passage - I guess. We decided to brave the holiday here in our new town instead of trying to get home and back. We sure did miss our family, but we got to see them via video chat. I even experienced the love from my BIL, they got to harass me a bit. Felt a little like home.
The night before TG, I dreamt of cooking the turkey. I guess it was like they tell a pro sports player to "envision your goal". I walked myself through the pre-game press and then the game itself.
We had a lovely couple that Bear knows from OK training and now he works with him out here. They are really far from home and were not traveling either. It was nice to have company and be able to prepare food for others.
Here are some highlights from the menu including The Bird.

We are beyond blessed with the love of our Savior, family & friends. We are thankful.
