Day 327: Thanksgiving

We have so much to be thankful for this year.  I am especially thankful that my sons and daughter-in-law are happy, healthy, employed and insured!  We never know how long that status will last, but for today, it is true.  I am grateful that we are both in great health and have endless opportunities before us for adventures and work that we love.

Cooking a full turkey dinner at Justin's apartment is a challenge.   Even though he has most of the equipment,  he also has the least amount of space.  It's tricky to maneuver with only the stove and 18" of counter space, but we produced a fantastic traditional Thanksgiving dinner.

We missed most of the Macy's parade since we got up so late.  The kids were not interested in attending.  However, Steve and I were entertained by the massive, rapid clean-up operation. Hundreds of cops, EMTs, sanitation police and street crews were on duty.

 It was a gorgeous day, warm and sunny.  Families were out strolling and visiting.  Many shops and restaurants were open and jammed full of customers.  It seemed that everyone wanted to eat out early in the day.  Walking back to the subway late this evening, the streets were nearly deserted, but we could hear laughter and music from inside the apartments.
