Thanksgiving Day

We’re trying to train the cats to be civilized by wearing collars. I wanted to get an orange collar for Ravel and a black collar for Nigel to reinforce the sense that they are a matched set, a couple of fraternal twins, die Brueder.

But blue looks so good on Nigel. It enhances his orangeness.

We started cooking some of the food for today’s feast as early as Tuesday. We even expanded the table length by inserting the original-color leaf that has not been worn down by use and the sun. We employed an angle formation for the table to make it fit better in the room. The feng shui was most excellent.

Sue moved the clock into the sunlight to give the orange cat something to do in the midmorning hours when he can chase the reflections back and forth on the wall.

Candied sweet potatoes and a glass of white wine.

Watching the Packers lose to Detroit is also a proud Thanksgiving day tradition.

In addition to the Bergs, we invited neighbor Ann and her daughter Samantha and son in law Nick. Ann is moving to Burnsville tomorrow and we will really miss her!

Samantha and Nick live in Urbana, Illinois. It was nice to see them. When we built our house in 2000, Samantha was only about 15 years old.

We are thankful for family and friends and food and fun.
