Thankful for...

I have a lot to be thankful for this year (as I do most years).  Here are just a few of the highlights...

I'm thankful for...
  • Frank's (Eric's dad) heart surviving the heart attack this weekend and that he is home.
  • All of my loving and supportive family and friends (especially during this past week, thanks for being there for Eric and his family when I was too far away)
  • And last but not least, the opportunity to be in Australia for 3 months.
(Again, these are just a few of the highlights)

Just wanted to share a little taste of my Thanksgiving thus far (it will continue properly with turkey on Saturday).  We made an apple pie and a pumpkin pie to share at work today.  The pumpkin is made entirely from scratch.  We bought pumpkins, steamed them, peeled them, and mashed them up.  Turned out pretty delicious. 

Amy slicing up the uncooked pumpkin.

What do you think of my rolling pin?

Kara arranging the apples to make them pretty.

The final product!

We decided we needed to do something a little more special this evening so we grabbed fish and chips from a local place called Clancy's and headed down to the beach.  The sunset was stunning, the food was scrumptious and the wine was smooth.  A pretty good twist on Thanksgiving if you ask me.

We saw one of the PTs from work at
the beach and got her to take our picture.






I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving filled with lots of love and tasty food.
