Thanksgiving was a quiet affair for my family this year. With both brothers and extended family spending the holiday in their own hometowns, the grand affair was comprised only of three: my parents and me. I have to give my mom a lot of credit, though. She still pulled off an amazing dinner with all the trimmings.
Her table is always set so beautifully. This Thanksgiving was no exception.
It was so nice to linger over this delicious meal. As day turned to dusk, the warmth of being with family, (albeit, small) seemed to take over. Or maybe that was just the wine??!
I love lingering over a meal, whether it's at home or at a restaurant. It is something I do so rarely. Slowing down over a meal always takes a little bit of effort for me, but makes the preparation and work so much more worthwhile. And gives me a chance to really enjoy the food and company. This was certainly the case on Thanksgiving. Thank you, mom and dad.
