Happy Thanksgiving!

I'll admit the obvious -- it's hard to be away for one of your favorite holidays.

But the day was better than I had thought it would be. The glorious sunshine played no small part in this. Karl and I spent the morning running errands, which was delightful to do together rather than solo. Then we picked up the boys at school and headed to the Globe Cafe and Bookstore for Thanksgiving dinner.


We enjoyed the usual fare -- turkey, mashed potatoes, pumpkin pie -- and didn't have to wash the dishes. All to the soothing sounds of some reggae and ska music. (Which was fun, a little random.)

Ben, psyched for pumpkin pie!


Karl and Tintin entertain Garrett between courses.


We definitely missed our family and friends and toasted our good fortune to have such wonderful family and friends to miss.

I hope that sounded right.
