For the month of November, I’m going to continue with my habit of posting things I am thankful for. Thankfulness is different from happiness, and I don’t want to conflate the two.
Today I’m thankful for the gauchos and chefs at Fogo do Chao who will be feeding Big Al and me our Thanksgiving Dinner today. No cooking for me this year. We’ll be joined by #2 son and #1 grandchild.

It was so nice to have this little holiday – train ride, stay in a hotel, dinner at a fine restaurant, and another train ride. This is the first time (other than to go Whale Watching this summer) that Al and I have gone anywhere or done anything since the start of the pandemic. Many thanks for vaccines and science.

Today I’m thankful for the train that will take Big Al and me to Portland for Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow. It’s much nicer than driving. I’m also thankful that the transportation department from FTJ is taking us to the train station (and picking us up on Friday).
Today is Thanksgiving Day, and I’m so thankful for friends who realized we would not have family around today, and reached out to invite us to share their table. I LOVE Franke Tobey Jones, and one of the best decisions we ever made was to move here,.
Today I’m making my mother and grandmother’s raw cranberry salad recipe. It’s old school “congealed” salad, and stiff with apples, cranberries, and pecans.

Today I’m thankful for the gauchos and chefs at Fogo do Chao who will be feeding Big Al and me our Thanksgiving Dinner. No cooking for me this year. I’m not upset about it because there’s no family around to cook for. (But I DID make cranberry salad to have when we get home.)

Today I’m thankful for the train that will take Big Al and me to Portland for Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow. It’s much nicer than driving, and I had enough Amtrak points that we’re riding for free!

Today I’m making raw cranberry salad, even though we won’t be here for Thanksgiving Day. This is a recipe that tastes like my grandmother, and mother, and all the years in the past. I’m so thankful for my memories.
If you want the recipe, go here.
The person I’m most thankful for this Thanksgiving Day. I wouldn’t be the woman I am today without his love and support for the last (almost) 50 years. I love you, Big Al!
I’m so grateful for my whole family. This is everybody except my brother, Bill, who is taking the picture, and my sister’s husband, Keith, and their son, Jonathan, who had tickets to the Cowboys’ Game on Thanksgiving. This was in 1995, the last year Mama and Papa were able to host Thanksgiving at their house. Lots of wonderful memories.
