The Thanksgiving That Was

I haven't celebrated Thanksgiving in America since 2003. I guess that's not a really long time, but it's long enough. We had a variety of other things to do yesterday, and our day began at 5 a.m. in order to be at an appointment in Utrecht that began at 7:30 a.m. I guess the appointment schedulers didn't consider the fact that in America, it was Thanksgiving.

I realized what a weird day it had been when I was making our Thanksgiving dinner from lentils and rice. Then I realized it was an even stranger day when we went grocery shopping, and I bought tulips.

Who's coming for turkey and all the fixin's next year? I'm hosting.
