A different kind of Turkey Day

No turkey was in the oven at our house today. Instead, we cut up some leftover chicken breast, mixed in some grapes, celery, red onion and mayonnaise and called it chicken salad. Then, we threw in a bag with some crackers, potato chips, carrots and apples and headed for the mountains for a picnic. We decided to check out Lecco (near the foothills of the Alps in the lake region) and see if we could find a hiking trail in the Alps. We weren't successful at finding a hiking trail but we did have one superb picnic on a bench overlooking the lake with the mountains surrounding us on all sides. The drive was worth the trip and we were grateful for the change in pace.

We'll have a traditional Turkey Day next week with Mom, Polly and Paul and Jesse in Houston. We return to the States on Monday for a month as we hope to process some paperwork at the Italian consulate in order for Wayne to be able to practice chiropractic here. Happy Thanksgiving to all, and to all a good feast!
