Happy Thanksgiving 2017

I simply can't believe it is Thanksgiving time!  I've been working way too much and we have unseasonably warm weather so it doesn't help.  But even when you aren't ready, it comes.  I kicked it off by joining some friends for drinks and laughs after work Wednesday.  It was really nice to disconnect and get out and relax.  That is the way to kick off the holiday weekend!!

For Thanksgiving, I went to Flemings with a few of my foodie/solo members.  We had a reservation at 1:00 which was a perfect time to eat.  We were not the only ones that went out. The restaurant was full of families and others celebrating.  They offered their regular menu but they also had a Thanksgiving menu with turkey or you could get filet.  As much as I was tempted to have the steak, I got the turkey as part of tradition.

We started with biscuits with honey and pumpkin spread.  Then a lovely salad, entree complete with sides, and finished with some delicious pumpkin cheesecake.  Everything was so good.  They gave everyone a little container of left overs for sandwiches.  What a nice surprise.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I practically rolled out of there I was so stuffed.  I enjoyed the company and although they were people I didn't know well, we had a great time and enjoyed ourselves.  It was nice to have someone to share the meal with.

The really cool thing is there is no stress, no cooking, no clean up.  Just a nice relaxing Thanksgiving Day.  I picked up a paper on my way home and talked to Dad on the phone.  Then I promptly came home and sat on the couch and read the paper.  I did a little Black Friday shopping online which was fun.  Not a bad way to spend the holiday....especially when I have to work Friday.

As a bonus, I caught a beautiful sunset from my patio.  The photo doesn't do it justice.  I would call this a perfect day.

I am grateful for all I have and all those around me.  Thank you for your love and support.  I return it 10 fold.
