Today we enjoyed a perfect Thanksgiving celebration -- a morning of busyness in the kitchen, with Cia and Aaron working to bring the meal to fruition (and Ham doing little or nothing), and then an afternoon of gratitude and great, great food. Jamie, Amy, and Matt joined us, and it was truly one of the best Thanksgiving meals I can recall. We missed the children, of course, but in a way it was good to be just with adults for a change, just to talk adult talk and share adult feelings.

The feast is ready!

In the evening, the guests are gone
and there's time for quiet
for mom and son.
