When my mom was too ill to cook Thanksgiving dinners, I arranged a Thanksgiving "picnic" from a local diner w/ turkey pot pies + cranberry sauce + pumpkin tarts + hot coffee... Loaded up the car w/ all mom's breathing equipment + supplies + took her and dad to a nearby wildlife flyway to watch the migrating birds... So many hawks were on fence posts at eye level... She was beyond delight that they had all come to be seen as we drove to the refuge + spent a couple of hours simply oohing + ahhing while we ate our Thanksgiving feast... It was a very good day...
