A lovely Thanksgiving, if solitary.  

I was proud of myself that I had not procrastinated - bought the turkey last Friday allowing it to defrost in the fridge.  Usually I buy it on Monday and put it in a cooler full of water in the kitchen.  So I pulled out a FROZEN turkey!  What the heck!  Thank goodness I pulled it out fairly early and had time to defrost it in the sink, but it was a day of a lot more work than I was planning.

Brian and the girls came over to pick theirs up and it was such a treat to see them all.

Just before falling to sleep the owl started hooting like crazy outside my window.  So cool - just wish I had been able to see him.
