Thanksgiving Memories

I love Thanksgiving!

Today I was thinking of some of my past Thanksgivings, and the ones that are the most memorable are my New York years.  While living in NYC, I started a tradition of the Orphan Thanksgiving.  I was a young single, far away from my home, and so were most of my friends.  I even had many friends from countries where Thanksgiving isn't celebrated!  So I would cook an enormous turkey and everyone came to my apartment to celebrate. 

What fun we had!  Of course, how I got a 20 pound turkey home on the subway somehow eludes me.  Funny how we block out the most unpleasant parts of the past, right???!!

Happy Thanksgiving!!!
