Thanksgiving was spent at the table of wonderful friends who know a lot about a lot of things. Cooking and friendship are two of those things but there are lots more. They own a bookstore and when I once suggested someone new to town go there, I was told, "Isn't it wonderful! They can actually tell you about the books." They can tell you a lot more than you find in books.

These two people went with me.
They arrived wearing hand knit socks and there is nothing more rewarding to a knitter than knowing her hours of work is actually in use.
And one of them plays violin. She's been teaching the other one who can produce a recognizable Mary Had a Little Lamb. That's one of my all time favorites!
As I write this, they're on the road back to Gainesville and I miss them!!
