Many, many weeks before Thanksgiving, a friend invited me over for a mid-afternoon meal & games. I quickly accepted!
There ended up being 3 married couples, me, & 4 children there.
We each contributed a side dish or two. I used my oven here for the first time & made candied carrots & baked corn. I also cut up veggies & made a few dips & also some sugar-free jello jigglers for dessert. But my friend, our host, REALLY outdid herself! Everything was SCRUMPTIOUS, including 5 homemade pies!
In counting the things I’m thankful for about that day, I have to include the fact that I’m thankful I was able to manage getting all of that food from my house, down 2 blocks, onto the bus, survived a 30 minute bus ride, then walked & walked & walked & walked, finally finding my friend’s house! I also am thankful that I was encouraged to take home a “doggie bag” ~ I SO enjoyed eating that the next day!!
Here are a few pictures of my first Thanksgiving Day away from my family, but still surrounded by loved ones!
