Everyone is getting ready for Thanksgiving around here. John’s family has left for Syracuse to join culinary forces with my daughter-in-law’s family. My husband and I just arrived in Providence, where we will celebrate with Suzanne, Erik, my sister, and my brother-in-law.
Big cooking starts early tomorrow. But I already made the From Scratch Club’s cranberry sauce that was such a hit last year. (I found it on their WordPress blog.)
So as not to repeat myself too much, I am just going to share a link John sent me that captures the leaping-for-joy spirit that should be the essence of a holiday that is basically about eating a lot of food with people you like. And then maybe taking a nap and dreaming you are flying.

I love those pics
Try to send some fun pics from Syracuse. And love to all!
At Thanksgiving, I often think of the one in Lausanne where we first met Erik and his family. I remember that you had the good idea of putting nutmeg in the mashed potato and that I made stuffing without a recipe and it wasn’t great. I remember Jimmy giving a toast and the delightful array of family and friends from Suzanne and Erik’s business school.
Thanksgiving is in my mind one of the best high festivals as you are getting together just to meet each other; not thinking of presents or other reasons than to appreciate your loved ones’ company. Thanks for telling me who you celebrated your day and your “dreams” (the pics) with.
