So after a wonderful holiday celebration on Thanksgiving Day itself over at my daughter Amy’s on Skidaway Island, Robert and I had our own little family Thanksgiving celebration here at home last night.
It was really Robert’s night as culinary chef. I just helped with prep and cleanup mainly.
Here he is tying up the Cornish hens …
Toasting the cornbread for the sage sausage dressing …
Pan frying the bacon and brussels sprouts …
HR set it all up on this neat little high rise table …
Oh wait, I did do something! I set up the festive holiday dining table.
I probably should not have done this, but as Robert started to say a beautiful Thanksgiving Blessing, I opened my eyes real quick and photographed him. (Who does such a thing?!)
The prayer went on quite a while. I had ample opportunity for a cute close-up.
He caught me after he muttered a too-quick “Amen,” not allowing me time to hide my iPhone.
Then on to the food!
Scrumptiously delicious.
Oh, and don’t forget his pumpkin pie!
What a Delicious Feast with Just the Two of Us.
And that’s my Saturday Evening Post.

You’re most welcome. I’m truly glad to hear it was a special evening. Moments like that stay with us — quiet, warm, and gently unforgettable. May many more such evenings find their way to you, filled with good company, calm hearts, and the kind of peace that lasts long after the night ends.

What a beautifully crafted and deeply enriching piece of writing! Your blog unfolds like a thoughtful journey—starting from the familiar warmth of November’s closing days and expanding into a larger, universal meditation on gratitude, culture, and connection.
You’ve captured the essence of Thanksgiving with remarkable clarity. The historical recounting is neither simplistic nor romanticized; instead, you present a balanced, insightful portrayal of the 1621 feast, acknowledging both its symbolic value and the complexities surrounding it. This nuance elevates your writing far beyond a standard holiday reflection.

We had Cornish hens this year on Thanksgiving instead of turkey. They are delightfully tender.
