We had a fantastic Thanksgiving holiday weekend.

Our dear friend Kate-Robin flew up from San Diego to celebrate with us — the best holiday gift ever. We cooked an amazing feast of garlic mashed potatoes, cranberry-apple stuffing, crab wrapped in sole with a blueberry cream sauce, salad, pumpkin cheesecake and pecan pie with ice cream, and spent hours chatting and catching up. We couldn’t help but feel grateful for our good friends and healthy, happy family.
