My sister Mary and I have had a challenging year, but thankfully coming to a better close with many recent improvements in health. Typically, we would travel to other family, or they would come to one of our houses, for the holiday. But all others had more pressing commitments this year.
Although just the two of us, we went all out from the Gouda and cranberry tarts for appetizers all the way to homemade pumpkin pie and ice cream for dessert. With some Cosmopolitans and Prosecco along the way. Not to mention the pecan, pear, and pomegranate salad, turkey, cranberry sauce, stuffing, green beans with almonds, and mashed potatoes and gravy. Mary even provided musical entertainment with "Turkey in the Straw."
I hope that each of you had a thankful, joyous holiday with a chance to appreciate the challenges and successes of the past year.
