Snow lasted long enough that we wondered if we'd spend Thanksgiving at home instead of at Vashon. Wind on Monday night brought down trees and major power lines all over the island.
Power came back to the south end Wednesday, about 2 hours before L & D and a friend arrived at the cabin. Roads were still a bit icy, but snow was supposed to start melting Thursday morning. By the time we started off on Thursday, all the main roads were bare and wet. On the island the side roads were covered with bits of fir branches - nature's own traction device!
Cabin holidays are the best - relaxed but festive. Good food, good company, laughter, games, books and conversation. The turkey was one of the freshest we've ever eaten - L & D raised an even dozen this year. Eight survived to become Thanksgiving meals.
