Canadian Thanksgiving

Today was Canadian Thanksgiving, and the Air Force was kind enough to give me the day off. Actually, it's Columbus Day too, which is an excellent day to give somebody an antique compass.

But, because we had the day off Sarah and I went hiking in Cloudcroft with Sara and Jeff. We took a nice hike on the OSHA trail, and decided that today was the penultimate day to go hiking in Cloudcroft. The leaves were the perfect shades, halfway fallen on the trail. The weather was a perfect blend of crisp and comfortable. The earthy smell and tree-canopied trail reminded me of Narnia. Even the gopher holes in the clearing seemed to take on a mythical beauty.




We also decided to cook a turkey and have some people over in celebration of Thanksgiving, so we roasted our first turkey and whipped together a Thanksgiving dinner in record time. It was delicious. Sarah worked incredibly hard, but it was worth it because we had so much good food and fun. We tried a spice-rubbed turkey with cranberry barbecue sauce. Mmm-mmmm.



Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
