We had a very different Thanksgiving this year. Usually we are in California with DT's family and The Lovely Lisa. This year, due to the Duck football schedule that dominates our life, we opted to remain in Oregon. The Lovely Lisa jetted off to the east coast to spend the holiday with Lenny's family. Our sister joined us, but our niece, Carla, was off for a long skiing holiday in the mountains with our brother/her uncle.
Dinner for three! No matter. Three or thirty - I polished the silver and set a pretty table.
I suppose we did what you did today - watch football and eat too much food. (PS: I ran 3 miles!) I am a bit embarrassed to announce our local college sports TV station was replaying every Duck football game from this season, back-to-back. A virtual Duck Football Marathon. I'm not going to lie - we re-watched a few games.
Score was the same.
Ducks still won.



I don't think so.



My sister had seconds.




We did not have mashed potatoes. We did not have sweet potatoes. We did not miss these things. Our afternoon and evening was exceptionally lovely. We had a nice fire in the fireplace and drank wine from our neighbor, Ponzi Vineyards. After all our conversations about the photos we were going to take of ourselves to send to our Dad and our daughters... we only snapped photos of food. So sad.
I know you will not be surprised, but the food on our menu tonight was organic.
Just in case you have not heard... the Ducks (ranked #1 in the country and sitting on a 10-0 record) are playing the University of Arizona tomorrow night at Autzen Stadium. We are taking our RV down to the game. Tailgating will occur, but the weather is supposed to be especially cold and miserable. Kick-off is at 4p pacific. The game will be broadcast live on ESPN. GO DUCKS!
DT and I extend our best wishes to you and your family for a wonderful Thanksgiving. Thank you for reading this little website.
Until my next update, from Autzen, I remain, your Thanksgiving correspondent.
