Something I noticed yesterday [View all]

The holiday was just my wife and myself instead of the large family gathering at her brother’s. We had the traditional meal which we fixed for ourselves and it was a nice relaxing day, it was enjoyable preparing, cooking and the food tasted much better.

Thanksgiving with the family is nice, but a quiet one at home wasn’t bad at all.
