Giving Thanks – Adapt and Improvise

We are thankful for good friends, with whom to share a holiday meal.  Dan did an awesome job on the turkey and hosting, and let us join his family for the day.  Uncle John brought pate’, Aunt Ellen brought hummus and raw veggies and cranberried items, Mom Dunn brought green beans, squash and pies, Jeremy brought beverages, Paul brought his good company and the Juddmansees brought starches.  It was a terrific day, and a wonderful way to “warm” the new house and ensure many happy meals will continue with the Lawler’s dining room set.

It was one of the most enjoyable and least stressful Thanksgivings in recent memory.  Dan’s house rocks – he’s way ahead of the game to have the first floor unpacked and furnished only 3 weeks after moving in.  The weather was clear and reasonably sunny.  The food was delicious, from start to finish.  We had a wonderful time.

Dan’s motto was “Adapt and Improvise” and it suited us well.  For example, to handle a lack of corkscrew, a wood screw and Leatherman will work fine.  Plates and silverware can be easily borrowed. There’s a reason we have creativity, and no one was too uptight about the details.

PS: Yes I got in my annual “guilt” run.  I’ve lost track of how many years, but it’s been at least since 1993. A good tradition.
