My extended family gathers at my sister’s house every year for Thanksgiving…for several days! (Yes, my sister and her family are saints.) We eat and drink a lot but we also have a ton of non-food-related fun.

Last year, we decorated potatoes–and one lemon when we ran out of potatoes–to look like turkeys (sort of) and then put them on wheels…because you can’t win at decorating. We raced them down a ramp to see who built the fastest turkey.

Racing our potato turkeys…and one lemon!

We also did yoga, competed at trivia, and played various cutthroat card games. There was puzzle-working and bhangra dancing, crokinole and indoor bocce ball, pickleball and brewery visits. It’s like summer camp for grown-ups!

I wish you as much fun at your Thanksgiving celebration as I will have at mine. May your day be filled with the warmth and blessings of family and friends.

Most of all, I want you to know how thankful I am to have you as my terrific, supportive reader. You are right up there on my gratitude list!

Hugs, Nancy
