some of us slept in. others stayed in bed far longer than the rest ...
after we managed to rouse ourselves, frijolita and i set upon the day's main feast: warming up the pre-prepared turkey day feast from the local chi-chi grocery store. this place is extremely expensive in a lot of ways, but their prepared foods really are the best in the metro area.
they sent us a turkey, two dishes each of stuffing and mashed potatoes, and one dish each of sweet potatoes and green beans. add in a tub of gravy, some dinner rolls and one each of a pumpkin and apple pie ...
all we had to do is set the table.
and give trotter his bone, of course.
after the orgy of food, trotter and i decided to brave the sub-zero windchills and take a walk -- conveniently during the denver-dallas game. i figured a nice long walk would be better for my rapidly growing figure. and as it was about 4 p.m. on a late november day, the sun was casting those long, cold shadows of winter:
we walked, we sniffed, we played football in the park, we chewed on some stuff, and at the end of the trip, we were rewarded with one of the prettier sunsets in recent weeks.
all in all, it was a nice way to spend a thanksgiving. i only wish i'd been home to see my family, but next year we'll be on a totally different holiday travel schedule. after all, it's awfully hard to stay away from this little one.
