Thanksgiving on the island

Spirit of Sam Jones

Ahhh…the smells of Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving Day on the island was really fun. Lots of folks around and the weather was great. Warm but a nice breeze. Crisp and crystal clear. Folks were out walking, biking, working up an appetite, I guess. The Variety store was hopping – good thing they were open for part of the day, as there were many folks buying. Fun to see all the action on such a small island.

Then the best – the island was full of wonderful smells. As usual, folks all around were cooking, eating, laughing and having a large time. The smells of turkey, cornbread dressing (one of my favorites), collards, sweet potatoes, pumpkin pies….. almost too much for this old spirit – but I rose to the occasion and observed each and everyone having a mighty fine time!

Once again, this island likes to eat and have fun. Two of the many reasons I love being here. Went back to the Castle in the evening and enjoyed watching the harbor lights.
