Post Turkey Day Malaise

For the first time in years we did not host Thanksgiving. It was nice not to have to coordinate and clean and then clean up. It was also nice that it was not a big to do, just low key and simple. That said it was different, not like the turkey loaf Thanksgivings from the mid 1980's, but different because it was most of our family together in a foreign place. The people at the Adult Family Home could not have been more gracious and understanding. And my dad seemed to enjoy it and that was important to us. In a weird sort of way it might be nice to do that again, bring in a meal to share with strangers that could possibly not get the chance to celebrate. There is a something altogether warm and fuzzy about that.
