Today is Thanksgiving! I usually make a huge feast for my large family but it is only Craig and I this year. Not that I am not cooking just not as much. I bought my groceries for our meal while in Anchorage and that I am thankful for that. My turkey cost 78 cents a pound, here it would have cost me $2.78 a pound. My potatoes were $3 for ten pounds here about triple. My pumpkin was $1 for one small can here almost 4. One pound of butter for my baking was $2 in Anchorage here $4.50. Cooking a huge feast here could add up quick. It would not give me much money left to spend on black Friday (the largest shopping day in the US). Wait I can only shop at the AC. I can buy a body pillow for $99 or maybe a $5 dollar bag of holiday candy for $17. Ahhhh life in the bush.
What do King Salmon residents do on Thanksgiving? Not really sure but at ten this morning there is a turkey trot walk/run of six miles. Not sure I want to participate in -19 degree temps but we will see. We are heading to the neighbors for dinner at 2. I was asked to go to my bosses house also where they are having moose and turkey for dinner. We won't be watching any football as pregame starts here at 8 in the morning. Maybe after dinner we will go look for wildlife. Who knows I just plan on relaxing and enjoying friends and family for the day. May your day be filled with things that bring you Joy. Happy Thanksgiving!
