The three days of Thanksgiving

I'll give the liturgical calendar what's due. But I do like secular pie day!

Monday was all planning and shopping and planning and shopping

Tuesday was pies and logistics

Wednesday was more pies and shopping and cleaning and fixing

Today's the big day.

I had to write something.

“but I’ll be spending the day writing and will be sure to eat something tasty.”

Looking forward to reading the combination of these two! Fillet of vignette!

Thank you for sharing such wonderful and grace-filled moments; always thought-provoking.

Happy thanksgiving to you too!! I am making a traditional thanksgiving dinner but with a non-dairy twist! Plus, my daughter is gluten-free this year also, so I had to make two versions of everything! So thankful for it all though, including you! I am up at the “butt crack of Madonna” (that’s what my kids call it, LOL) to make a braided orange-anise bread ring that has become a thanksgiving breakfast tradition. Hugs to you!

Happy Thanksgiving to you, Summer. 🍁🥮🍂 I am grateful for you and how you share your perspectives and gifts so openly. I live in New England. My son is doing a sort of clam bake with lobster, black mussels, and clams. Corn and potatoes. A chilly walk through the golden leaves, then plum tart. 🧡

Happy Thanksgiving, Summer. Even though it's not as big a deal this side of the Atlantic, I always cherish its recurrence. It reminds me of my years in the US. I wrote about this last year: https://silviocastelletti.substack.com/p/giving-thanks
