We began our Thanksgiving Day with a hike in the woods. We can accessthe Nantahala National Forest by hiking up the road behind us. It was a chilly morning, below freezing when we started out but we bundled up and headed out. Later in the day we roasted a chicken that we had named “Turkey” and made a nice dinner for just the two of us. This was our very first Thanksgiving with just the two of us and we really enjoyed it. We had the pleasure of talking with all of offspring and hearing of the delightful Thanksgiving repasts that they all had. And we counted our blessings. We have so many!
Burgh House Hampstead
Off the beaten path is Hampstead is the more than three hundred year old Burgh House with a fascinating history. It’s now a community center, local museum, gallery, concert venue, event space, and more open to the public four days a week. We popped over for a bite to eat and to peruse the galleries to learn a little more about Hampstead history.
I like that hike.
