Well, if you and Graham ever find yourselves in Rhode Island at Thanksgiving time, you are certainly welcome to join us in our feasting.

‘Twoodn’t be Graham if he didn’t over-do the work on his first day out of bed! Naps all round are a good idea on any day of the week.

I will confess to a nostalgic craving for good, home-made cranberry sauce (NOT canned, because it tastes ‘tinny’). ‘Twas the craving for vitamin C, Wayne, same as the craving that prompted making tea from spruce twigs. I will content myself with the last of a gift-bag of ripe persimmons, juicy and sweet.

cranberries are another of the food items (like oysters) that makes me wonder what possessed the first human to eat them. At 68 cranberry sauce still sets my teeth on edge.

Oh how I wish I could send you over a real Thanksgiving dinner! And really, the cranberries aren’t sour if you fix them right.

I had a lovely time yesterday, spending the morning fixing the feast and then, in the afternoon, after the company had all left, eating a small piece of apple pie and then– a nap.

I agree with the others. Never skimp on the naps!

Healing sleep. Yes, that’s the best thing, after bouts with the wobblies as well as after bouts with an over-abundance of comfort food. Maggie has a great idea — Thanksgiving goodies on the installment plan. And naps. Never skimp on the naps.

Lots of overeating here. Double pie and whipped cream….I confess. I was full at the end, but moderation in all the rest of it allowed me to walk after dinner. Laugh too.

Why not do your Thanksgiving gluttony in stages: Roast turkey breast one day with a nice salad and fruit. That sort of stage. Not as satisfying, but fun.

Thanksgiving used to be our unspoiled holiday where only gluttony and family were celebrated. But the shopping madness has crept up and made it unseemly with Black Friday creeping into Thursday. Oh, well I’m off to partake in ample leftovers of turkey and many sides.

Missed my nap yesterday. Well the day before too.

Our idea of purchasing the fully cooked dinner didn’t really lighten the kitchen load.
