Thanksgiving Memories.

Our Turkey Day was filled with lots of seriously delicious food, good wine, and the sounds of friends enjoying each others' company.


Something about the pavilion...


was it the festive decorations reminding us that somewhere leaves turn brilliant colors...

or the placing of the tables into intimate spaces...

or the soothing background music...
or the fact that the clean-up crew quickly, quietly and efficiently
whisked away dirty plates and left us feeling like we were pampered guests....
Something was special and a little different...

and nice!

What a delicious and generous spread of delicious food!

And two kinds of turkey! Did you try the smoked?

Deeelishus!
Thank you Jay & Karen for providing the turkeys.
Thank you everyone who brought the wonderful dishes.
Thank you John for the music.
Thank you clean-up crew for making the evening seem effortless.
Thank you to whomever I forgot.
And a special thank you to Gloria for overseeing all the
bits and pieces that go into a successful dinner.

After a long and unhurried Thanksgiving meal several of us lingered
to talk and sip our wine.
And when we returned home there was football...
Ahhh..life is sweet!

You're right Sue, there was something different and magical about this year's Thanksgiving. The table arrangements looked more restaurant like, and cozy. Having volunteers gather the used plates/settings left us time to linger and talk.

It just keeps getting better. . .
