Thanksgiving away from Margie, the kids and grand kids yet somehow still at home in warm place with cold temperatures

 

Tomorrow, Thanksgiving Day, I will join the community of Nuiqsut for a whale feast. This evening, Bernice Kaigelak invited me over for an early Thanksgiving feast in the turkey way. She worried she had overcooked the turkey. She didn't. It was succulent and juicy, just the way a Thanksgiving turkey should be. She said it must be hard, being away from my family on Thanksgiving day. Indeed, it is, but Nuiqsut is where I need to be right now. And, in its own way, I have a feeling here like being home. I plan to have a Thanksgiving feast with my family Saturday. Three Thanksgiving feasts in four days - that is something to be thankful for.
