Thanksgiving Day

Happy Thanksgiving!! It was a work day (night?) for me. Because of the holiday, I only had to work until 8:45 this morning instead of 11:50. For some reason, I don't have to work the extra day of Friday this week.  They changed my schedule.  Other things that I am happy for today are:

• They served us breakfast burritos at work today. Every so often they bring in some outside food for the employees. Being a picky eater, I don't always choose to partake. Today I did and chose an egg, cheese, and potato burrito. It was pretty good. 
• Hearing from family and friends is always a happy occurrence.  I'm happy to say that my youngest is doing fine today, we texted.  My oldest is also fine, we had a quick call when I couldn't find the cinnamon.
• In the afternoon, after a short nap, I visited my friend, Amy and her son for a Thanksgiving meal- vegan style. I don't care for mushrooms, so I skipped the turkey substitute, the rest was delicious. I like the vegan green bean casserole they made better than the original partly because of the lack of mushrooms but also because they cut up onions for it. 
• Zed, Gideon, Keziah, and I all made parts of a vegan apple pie. It too is delicious.  It also crumbled to pieces--which doesn't change the flavor.  It isn't quite my Aunt Helen's pie or my cousin Isabelle's.  Still, yum.

• Even the cats got special food today. They enjoyed some canned food instead of the usual dry food.
