Happy Thanksgiving! Ruth is cooking a turkey breast with all the trimmings. Going to get up to 50 here today before a cold snap starts moving in leading into December.
I’ve been in touch with family and our former neighbors to wish them well…

We’re in such a strange place now. At least 2.5 hours from all of our Colorado friends, at least 1,000 miles from family in either side. Somehow, it’s not lonely though. We enjoy the peace and solitude of the valley…

Thanksgiving always brings up the memory of the immortal words of Arthur Carlson: "As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly."

Happy Thanksgiving to all my Bronx Bomber friends. Can't wait to dig into some Chinese food. If the economy keeps going in the direction it is now, next year you can probably buy it with Chinese money… 🤓 |

Ruthie hit an absolute grand slam with the turkey breast. So juicy and tender. My stomach hurts a bit…

Now it’s time for pumpkin chiffon/caramel pie. I lovingly made it myself today in Safeway…

Ruthie hit an absolute grand slam with the turkey breast. So juicy and tender. My stomach hurts a bit… Probably, your stomach is too accustomed to well-done proteins?  Happy Thanksgiving to all my Yankee brethren at HeAmyHa! I spent the entire morning sleeping in, then binged episodes of "House." Texted friends and family, who were trying to contact me via phone. I decided to stay away from everyone during this holiday, adjusting to the rhythms of depression without falling down a well or infecting others. Most of the time I can produce verbosity and optimism and humor in social settings. This week has felt different - not worse or anything - just different. So in such instances I adjust, hoping that my decision to isolate is correct. Sometimes navigating depressive episodes is like riding a wave, striving for balance until the safety of shallow water, where it is easy to stand and walk to shore. What I miss most about Thanksgiving is making all the pies and cornbread and dressings and cranberry sauce the night before, brining the turkey, and prepping for cooking early the next day. Sarah has generally put out all the Fall decorations, including Thanksgiving table place mats, table cloths, napkins, and tchotchkes. Then, she puts out interesting nibbles for guests to munch on while everything is cooking and she sets the table, while I move continuously stirring and monitoring and seasoning dish to dish. I especially miss Sarah taking pictures of the final table and everyone's plates before we begin eating, looking at her until she glances at me with her big green eyes and smiles. It's always the little things you miss. The smallest, silent gestures and expressions that say more than Dr. Johnson's lexicography in a moment as fleeting as a wingbeat of a butterfly. Delicate communication carrying a deluge of meaning. Hoping that each of you find Thanks to give on this holiday. Provecho! |

I can’t imagine the darkness you feel no matter what. One thing I do know is that you gave us a strong enough introduction to Sarah and he ways that she would want you to push this. Also I know that she IS with you. If you look hard enough, or smell or imagine you may catch a clue, but that woman will never leave you… |
