Thanksgiving Recap
Hey there friends! How was your Thanksgiving? I hope it was spent in the company of your loved ones…and with plenty of delicious homemade food.
We took a break from our busy schedule to head up to Big Bear with our extended family. It was a great way to unplug. And the weather was absolutely amazing! Some of my highlights were:
Gathering apples from an abandoned tree.
Making The Man’s favorite Sweet Potato Casserole.
Teaching one of my sisters how to make gravy.
Antique shopping with another sister…found a silver & turquoise bracelet that I love!
Played rounds and rounds of Yahtzee with some serious folks. (Got a Double Yahtzee and won!)
Had a much needed coffee break with my sister and brother-in-law at this place.
Hit every thrift store in Big Bear..bought nothing. But still fun.
Scored a giant bag of free pinecones for a craft project.
And spent lots of time in front of a wood burning stove.
All in all, it was the perfect holiday!

It sounds and looks like it has been a splendid day! So glad for you! Here we do not celebrate Thanksgiving so it was just a normal working day! I am glad though that you had fun and pleasure! Happy day! Christa
Thank you, Christa! We Americans love Thanksgiving. Lots to be thankful for. Where do you live and do you celebrate a similar type holiday?
What a fun time! We had a cabin in nearby Green Valley when I was a teen. I just love that area. Thank you for sharing.
BTW, you did a great job on the Country Living article on Serena and her family….loved it!
Big Bear is the best! I lived in 29 Palms (the USMC base in the middle of the Mojave) the past 2 years and Big Bear was our hour-and-a-half-away escape! It was even our last baby free weekend before my husband deployed when I was 12 weeks pregnant!
Heather,
I love Big Bear and this time of year is wonderful, makes me feel like we live where there are true “seasons”. Sounds like you had a wonderful time. This is my favorite time of year.
Happy December.
Karen
