November 22nd is Thanksgiving day

Thanksgiving morning Monopoly game never really got off to a strong start and was eventually abandoned altogether in favor of watching numerous videos This is the view from the southern most end of the bridge over Ten Mile River looking eastward The Ten Mile River estuary is just below our house. View across the river towards the ocean and northerly

It continued to rain The whole beach and estuary is part of a state preserve It was quiet, we had the place to ourselves again as it was raining pretty steadily View north on the ocean side of the dune

The algae had been loosened by the storm the night before and washed up on the shore in big knots Are those birds on the beach? A Monterey cypress looking lonely on the dune The breakers near the mouth of the Ten Mile River

What's that? It looks like the young ladies are coming to the river! Yes, that's them in the canoe in the rain! Landing was an experience, as was the departure with 4 people in the canoe But, we shoved off and headed back across the river to the Osprey house

Getting ready to "do" the Thanksgiving feast Brigitte is quietly waiting for her mashed potatoes, her favorite part of the meal We're digging in and enjoying the company More meal time fun!
