Thanksgiving

I awoke on Thanksgiving day feeling GOOD. I mean, I haven't felt that content right away in the morning in a long time. I'm pet-sitting in a home that is has beautiful light, clean energy, and animals that are so comfortable around me. I grabbed my phone and took a photo of the scenario...cat on left, cat on right, dog at feet, with me squished in-between it all:

I basically got up, made coffee and started on the crust of my pumpkin pie. I did what Smitten Kitchen said, made sure everything was nice and cold, and voila! It worked! It was actually pretty simple.

[FYI: watching the pie doesn't make it bake faster.]

[Finished pie, with a smiling face.]

Headed with Jill to Misty & Ted's for the feast. It was a lot of fun, with a great mix of people and the food and wine was so delicious!! We rock.

[Raquel helps me with the potatoes, Heather works on the gravy.]

[Some of the delicious eats!]

Went walking with Charlie-girl this morning. It is so much fun to watch her frolic in the weeds. She leaps like a gazelle.. I'm going to try and capture it on video tomorrow. She is so great. And a comedian; she has me laughing out loud all the time.
