I cooked and then I cooked some more...

First I baked pies...

Pumpkin

Apple

And then came the fresh Cranberry Sauce

Followed by Grandma's little kitchen helpers
We carefully stuffed the turkey

Our lovely centerpiece

Place setting

A first this year, Pioneer Woman's mashed potatos, Sweet Potato Casserole, Honey Bunny Carrots and delicious biscuits rounded out our Thanksgiving meal.  We gathered round the table, said a prayer of thanks and then the food frenzy ensued...

I sincerely hope your Thanksgiving was filled with joy, love and some yummy food.

A walk in Athens...


Ouzo and fresh home grown grapes given to us at the end of our several hour lunch


Street vendor food, yummy sesame pretzal like bread...


Street signs contain ancient Greek, modern Greek and English lettering...


Changing of the guard..
Radio City Rockettes, watch out for these high kickers.


Look, it's the Acropolis...


Odeon Theatr at the base of the Acroplis...
We sat on these ancient marble seats, under the moonlit sky and watched a ballet.
Tribute to Rudolph Nureyev 
Sigh


Park bench, shady plaza, and an iPhone...
