My first Thanksgiving in St Augustine was an unexpectedly wonderful day. I am used to spending the day with at least some of my family, watching the Macy's Day parade, football either on the local high school field or on TV, and eating way too much. But this year, I spent the morning chatting with neighbors who happened by, visiting a friend and walking the dog on a lovely warm, sun-drenched beach. Then I headed to Hastings for dinner with another friend and her family. In the evening, I chatted on the phone with some of my children and grandchildren. All in all, a charming, heartwarming day filled with blessings
