We are off tomorrow to spend Thanksgiving day with our children and new grandchild. What a lovely thing. I am taking wine and flowers. I think that is a great thing to be thankful for...imagine not cooking Thanksgiving dinner. Really sweet, on top of that spending a day in warm Albuquerque, with people that we love. Thanks be to God! I am looking forward to that!
I went to Albertson's and looked through their cut flower department, purchasing 3 bunches and then added some berries from a plant that I just love. I don't know what it is called, it has been growing in our front yard for about 30 years. We dug it up in the orchard at the top of the road. The seeds that started it had to come on the crest of the ditch water, flowing out of Taos Canyon. The shrub is a wonderful bird attractor because of the red berries and beautiful with bright orange leaves in the fall and yellow flowers against dark green leaves in the spring. I love to sit in my bedroom and listen to the birds talking about how good the berries are. They are very pleased about having such lovely things to eat.

I picked the wine at Susan's Fine Wine and Spirits in Santa Fe. The two wines were highly recommended by Nathan. They are Charles and Charles, Red 2007 and House Wine, The Magnificent Wine Company...both funny labels and happy looking bottles. Along with them are some Meiers Sparkling Catawba and Kristian Regale, Sparkling Ligonberry, Apple Juice. Sounds all good to me and looks very festive all in all.
Happy Thanksgiving to you!!!
