Passing on Traditions

Twenty six years of thanksgivings with dear friends and  our thanksgiving holiday has grown from a gathering of graduate students away from home to include extended families, our kids and their significant others.  One of the many traditions that has developed over the years is a table full of home made pies.  The kids are now becoming contributors to this practicing their favorite pie recipes during the year so they can share it at our feast.  We almost end up with a pie per person,  not quite... but close.  Pie for breakfast the next day is always something to look forward to.  This is definitely one tradition that will be passed on to the next generation!
Thanksgiving Pies!

Bainbridge Island

Sunday Seattle Urban Sketchers took the ferry over to Bainbridge Island for some sketching, painting, eating and some did a little wine tasting.  All in all a good day for it though it always takes longer than you think when you are on Ferry Schedule.
