Daughter Lise, friend Magda, and I celebrated Thanksgiving fairly quietly. Bursts of laughter were not quiet. They helped get the food on the table and cleared up after we ate. For the foodies, we had turkey, dressing, cranberry sauce, green bean casserole, mashed sweet potatoes, grape salad, lime Jello salad, and cranberry mince pie.
After dinner, the girls played a card game they often take on trips. Magda was having a streak of bad luck, so I suggested they deal the next round and switch hands before playing. Of course, there was only a 50/50 chance that it would help Magda. We all laughed when she won, playing the hand that should have been Lise’s.
Our outing for the day after Thanksgiving was going to Sunburst Falls. After Magda went close to the falls, we drove on the Blue Ridge Parkway until sunset. At an overlook, the girls got out to watch the sun go down. They were frozen when they returned to the car. I don’t know how cold it was then, but Magda and I had walked in the morning when it was 22 F (-5.55C).

Sounds like a perfect Thanksgiving day. I like how the girls were dressed in festive clothing and laughed at Magda’s shirt and its saying. 🙂 The red afghan with snowflakes accentuated their clothing.
