Thanksgiving Eve

Boss gave a beautiful speech at our reference staff meeting this morning, saying she is thankful for having the opportunity to work with such an awesome and capable staff, despite her high standards and the many changes she's implemented over the past year. We applauded. She's a very good Boss!

A family we know is traveling this week in Thailand. The recent news stories about PAD protesters causing the airports to close makes me thankful we live in a place where such disruptions to free movement are not likely to happen. Our friends are now "upcountry" and out of the danger zone, but there is still the question of whether the airports will be open by the time they are scheduled to return. It's interesting following their tweets.

Daughter made the apple pie, and it looks scrumptious! I haven't cooked the squash or made fruit breads yet, but made some pickled carrots, peppers and cauliflower instead. The turkey should only take a few hours to cook tomorrow, so I will be able to do the breads first, and the squash can go in the microwave.
