Thankfulness is a Warm Turkey
Well, more than warm, actually. Nobody wants to get sick from eating an underdone bird. There's also the joy of turkey sandwiches in the days that follow. My fave is cold turkey with lettuce and good mayo. Pure bliss. What's your favorite Thanksgiving leftover?
I wish all of you a Happy Thanksgiving, no matter if you're here in the U.S. or halfway around the globe. No matter what else is going on in your life, it is a wonderful feeling to sit, share a meal with friends and family, and simply be thankful. My wish for you is that you may also experience the calming peace and tranquility that thankfulness brings.
Or the stories that will be told in the gatherings following a family blow-up, usually brought on by a little too much Thanksgiving wine. Remember the year Uncle Pete....
If you find it hard to be thankful for something, be thankful you didn't burn the turkey. At least not much of it.
I'll be taking a break in December and January, so I won't be back here until February 2. I will still have books on sale in those months, so if you're reading this on my newsletter, you'll still hear from me there.
I'll also be scrambling to finish the first book in a brand new series. I think you'll like it. I hope so! It's a ton of fun to write.
In the meantime, Happy Thanksgiving, Happy Hanukkah, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and have a good time with any holiday I forgot, too.
Be kind to one another. I'll see you in February!

Cold turkey sandwiches with stuffing - now that's the best.
I love turkey sandwiches as well. We've finished our T-day but I may have to pick up another turkey in solidarity with my US buddies :)
Alex - Thanks. You, too.
Natalie - I hope you're right. We all need that.
Jemi - Do it!!!
Rachna - Thank you! I intend to do just that :)
EC - Thank you. I'll miss your lovely pics and Wednesday Words.
Melissa - Those babies are lucky to have you care for them.
Diane - I've never burned one either, but one year ours refused to get done. I put it on that morning, and it wasn't done until about 7 that night. I think the gremlins messed with my oven that day.
Enjoy your wonderful break!!
Kalpana - Thanks for visiting and leaving a comment. It's a pleasure to meet you.
My husband and I moved to Portugal at the end of February. Normally we celebrate Thanksgiving Day with our godfamily, even though we are vegetarian and don't eat Turkey. (Usually it is "pot luck".) Portugal doesn't really have a Thanksgiving Day, but we have many Portuguese friends to celebrate other occasions with, as we start this new chapter in our life.
See you in 2022!
H.R. - That sounds really good. I'm not cooking this year, but next time I have my own leftovers, I'm going to try that.
CLee - I have been extremely behind for over two years and I'm finally close to being caught up. I hope to never be that far behind again.
Good luck as you scramble to finish the first book in your brand new series! YAY!!
Enjoy your break, too.
Merry Christmas and a Happy, Peaceful & Prosperous New Year!
I'm caught up in the Christmas whirlwind right now, but I'm planning on some serious writing in January. Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a healthy and safe New Year.
