*Happy Thanksgiving. What a wonderful day of thanks it has been.
*I had four classes this morning, then crawled back into bed for a little more rest. Paul and I got up to go find some coffee. We usually get out coffee at Black Rock Coffee, but it was closed. Oh yeah....it is Thanksgiving. I guess some coffee places may not be open. We made our way into Meridian and found a Dutch Bros open, so we stopped there and got some coffee. We had a very friendly barista we visited with who is a BSU student, and was talking about how most of her friends had left town for the holidays. Her family had moved here from some south about 14 years ago, and we talked about the large growth spurt of the area, and how we had lived here from 1991 to 2000, and how much things have changed since we moved away.
*It was a nice relaxing morning. Zoe arrived around 9 or so to visit and do some laundry.
*Around 12:30 or so, Laurie and I drove to Kevin and Linda’s house. They were hosting this year’s Thanksgiving dinner. We had a wonderful group of people gathered around the table, including Kevin, Linda, Karlie, Daniel, Laurie, Paul, Zoe, Joanne, Lowell, Burton, Patricia and myself. It was a delicious meal prepared by many loving hands, including turkey, dressing, potatoes, gravy, sweet potatoes, roasted vegetables, rolls, carrots and relish tray. Later we topped it off with pie....pecan, pumpkin and gooseberry.
*Our Kellogg family gathered around the table at Christy and Everett’s house with Bill, Molly, Travis, and Cosette. We did a video chat with them, and had some laughs together as we heard how their Thanksgiving afternoon went.
*After dinner and dessert a group of us took a walk. It felt good to get out and move after that wonderful meal.
Post dinner walking group.
*When we returned from our walk, we all played Catch Phrase and a game of Favorites.
*What a wonderful day with family. A very blessed day of Thanksgiving.
