Happy belated Thanksgiving :)
Nov. 24th, 2015 08:46 pmToday is the day we had our celebration. The day was beautiful, and in the low 60s (which, as it'd been in the low 50s and high 40s all last week, meant that just about every one of us felt comfortable and even warm with our coats off) so instead of trying to figure out how to seat 10 people around a kitchen table sized for 6, with nowhere near enough seats, we went to the park to eat! Picnic tables, and lots of space for the kids to run around, and it was glorious.
We had the customary too much food without it being TOO too much, and everybody was able to find some food that they wanted to eat, both with the meal and the dessert, and nobody fought, which is like some sort of holiday miracle. If the weather is this nice next year, we'll absolutely do it again. Global warming has to be good for something, after all.
Afterwards, we discussed world politics a little, and apparently Erdogan is not pronounced at all the way I'd assumed. Damn Turkish spelling conventions. Thank goodness Michele speaks the language.
