Quarantine Diary 47 | Thanksgiving

 Ruth and I had a (safe healthy) Thanksgiving hosted at my brother Dean's lovely home in the Virginia countryside, along with his dear partner Bobbin. 

Though Ruth, Bobbin, and I contributed to the meal (pumpkin peanut soup, corn pudding, cookies), Dean, who is a superb cook, made a vegetable wellingon, cranberry sauce, salad with homemade dressing, an appetizer of bread, blended cheeses and home-grown tomatoes, gravy, two pies mit schlag, all of it created from scratch and with many ingredients from their garden. A delight.

We then took a walk in their beautiful neighborhood, and watched the sun go down over the trees. 

I had some fun while Ruth drove us home.

We are grateful for our blessings.
