It's a chilly Thanksgiving morning here in Tepusquet Canyon! Bob checked the thermometer outside and at 7:30 a.m. it was 28 degrees! Holy Moly, Batman! For the first time ever we have been covering plants at night. The gardenia that we planted between the hot tub and water heater shed is really growing! Imagine that?! The coffee grounds, planter mix and crumbled leaves recommended really must be the ticket. At any rate, we've (usually Bob) have been tucking in the gardenia, bougainvillea and the huge fern (I'm so happy :-)) for a warm night. I thought that the fern would suffer because it has been on the porch for 9 years, but it turns out that it likes being free. It is so very happy waving about on the new gravel, sandstone and grass patio.
Bud, Preston and hopefully Bud's new lady friend and her granddaughter are coming later today to share the feast with us. Preston usually goes to one of his other grandmother's house for dinner earlier in the day. To make it special for him to go to yet another fete on the same day we decided to have our meal late in the day...say around 5 or 6 and end up out in front of a nice fire, thanks to Polly and Phil and Mr. Franklin, and toast marshmallows for So-more's.
It doesn't matter how much time you spend with loved ones, it's what you do when you spend it. We hope you spend your time well and remember to have fun. Don't worry about making the food perfect, relax and make the fun perfect! You can buy turkey dinner anywhere. Just remember what my Great-Uncle Reese always said, "If you want to have a good time, take it with you!"
Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving to you all. I know what you are talking about. We have had so many great times together and not spent a dime. There is nothing as special as great friends and family that you care so much for. Give them all (and yourself too) hugs from us. Love you all. Dorothy and Bruce
