Extraordinary Thanksgiving

We had an extraordinary Thanksgiving as son Steven and DILVivian treated us to tickets to warm and sunny Phoenix to spend the holiday with them and our granddaughter Madison and her husband Ryan.  We stayed in a lovely hotel which had bagpipers playing in the courtyard every night at sunset. On Thanksgiving day we ate traditional fare at a restaurant that had a panoramic view of the whole area.

One afternoon we relaxed by the fire pit where my son lives and he grilled us mini portions of filet mignon, foie gras, lobster and king crab.  Another day we went to an ice cream shop which made your ice cream to order as you stood and watched.

Each evening we ate at a different restaurant but the first night was special because it was our 43rd anniversary and the waiter brought a special flaming dessert to the table.

We hadn't all been together since Madison's wedding in 2017.  It was a fun, loving busy four days but it turned out that warm and sunny Phoenix was anything but warm and sunny and was in the mid 40s,drenching rain, flash flooding  and even 3 tornados wreaking havoc.  But this morning as we  boarded our plane temps were returning to normal.
