Hunting Island State Park Site 83
Hunting Island South Carolina
Today was Thanksgiving and we had the traditional huge spread.
We do a flexitarian meal for holidays.
Too much food as always but Oh so good!
Southern Tier Pumking, an imperial pumpkin ale, for the 2 beer lovers
Even preparations of a ridiculously HUGE meal in a teeny tiny kitchen are fun.
Green beans almondine look lovely in Great Great Great Grandmother Elizabeth Hoerner’s serving dish.
It’s the one vintage dish we made room for in our travels.
A full plate
Where did it all go????
Pumpkin pie looks a bit undressed before whipped cream.
But look now
It’s been a very rough year for us and on this day we are thankful to David’s medical team for bringing him to this point however long it may last. He is nearly back to his former stamina and we three are most grateful for that above everything else.
We are very thankful for each other and that we can be together on this day.
We are thankful for all friends and family who have stood so steadfastly beside us during this trial. You can never know how much you have meant to us.
We are thankful for the freedom to still be on the road and to be able so far to financially deal with what this year has brought us.
With no idea what the future may bring we are grateful for each day we can continue this life we love.
Happy Thanksgiving to all of you from the 3 of us!!!
Hahaha! I love the shot of the fire starter thingie on the kitchen counter as you are preparing your dinner. Who else but an RVer can relate to that being an essential and everyday kitchen utensil? Thanks for sharing your Thanksgiving. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteCooking a holiday dinner in an RV can certainly pose its challenges, can't it? But it's so worth it! Happy Thanksgiving to all of you!

ReplyDeleteIt is an example of true family love, cooking a big Thanksgiving meal in a little RV kitchen. Bet lots of bum bumping went on.

We wish you all the best in the coming years. My kitchen is small, but yours is smaller. Yet your dinner is grand. Thanks for sharing.
