The sense of unwinding can be felt. A giant nation-wide exhalation into a long weekend of food, family, and probably a football game or two. There is a genuine thankfulness to Thanksgiving, even when you are retired.
We have made some great friends here in Star Valley and we are thankful for all these new, fun people in our lives. They, however, all have family or left town. We celebrate this day of thanksgiving with each other. Two good friends, walking through life side by side, sitting in our home on our farm feeling incredibly thankful this year.
Mike smoked a turkey on the Traeger grill which was simply stunning! It looked delicious, it smelled amazing, and was the juiciest most tender turkey either of us have ever sunk our teeth into. Spot on, job well done, Chef Trumbower!!
We kept it simple. Turkey, some just made mashed potatoes, gravy from the giblets, and a hot sour cherry pie. While we sipped wine and enjoyed the somewhat simple Thanksgiving me, we ticked off all the dishes missing and were happy for their absence! And we took inventory of all the many blessings in our lives.
I hope your Thanksgiving was equally as refreshing and relaxing, delicious and delightful!
