Our Thanksgiving Day

Our thanksgiving was nice. It was very quiet. We started our day with a big breakfast early in the morning. For some reason, I woke up super early. We got caught up on email and decided to take a small walk at one of our favorite places, Mashapaug Pond.

We came across only one person who was walking his dog. Other than that, it was just us at the pond. Here are a few photos I took.

After our walk, we came home and spent the most of the day getting our Christmas decorations up. It seems to be a custom in our area to start the Christmas decorations the night of Thanksgiving. So, we put up our lights outside and got the candles into the windows. I wrapped presents for friends and relatives.

At 3:30, we got ready to go to the Hideaway Roadhouse for Thanksgiving Dinner. We usually cook for Thanksgiving, but this year it was just the two of us so we decided to have a quiet Thanksgiving and go out for dinner. The food was great. They were offering four different specials for Thanksgiving. They all sounded good, but we ended up getting the traditional turkey dinner.

I picked the Hideaway Roadhouse because it is gay-owned and operated. When you walk it, it like stepping back in time two hundred years. Everything is an antique right down to the wood stove that was warming the place. I understand that every Wednesday night there is a gathering of people in the bar downstairs. I peaked into the bar area and I must say, it's really a nice cozy place. I'm thinking next week I may go investigate it. It could be a good way to meet others in my area.

After dinner we came home, watched TV for a bit and went to bed early around 9:00. I know, really early for bed. It was a perfect day.
