Thanksgiving

After a grand total of 11 Thanksgiving holidays in the USA I am finally beginning to get it!

It is always on a Thursday and is followed by a very quiet weekend. There is no distraction from having to give and receive gifts and it has no (current) religious overtone, which means everyone gets to enjoy it together at the same time and for (just about) the same reason. Nice!

This year we went to Brent and Susan's place and enjoyed the day with them and and their kids Caelen, Aiden and Maya and Brent's sister Dawn, her partner Diane and their son Elijah. Fab!

Today we went for a quiet walk in Todd Sanctuary, which is an Audubon Society wilderness North of Pittsburgh, and rounded the day off with beer and pizza in the Church Brew Works.
