I was so excited to be included in a special friends and family Thanksgiving celebration, invited by my friend Rebecca. She invited us to her boyfriend's family's farm the Sunday after Thanksgiving for a combination oyster and clam roast and full Thanksgiving spread.
Among other talents, Rebecca is a chef on a yacht several months of the year, so she mixed up some fancy drinks for us, of course.
Her dad brought oysters and clams from nearby their home at the coast, and he tended the roast.
I loved checking out the farmhouse -- the paintings, the vintage lace tablecloths, the crystal, and the collection of turkeys.
I'm a little embarrassed to admit that I'd never shucked an oyster, and come to think of it, I still haven't.
I had to at least sit in the driver's seat of Rebecca's "princess ride," a 1992 Range Rover.
Matt, Rebecca's boyfriend, is a Land Rover enthusiast and collector.
Zack and I might be a little envious of their collection . . .
We enjoyed eating oysters and turkey, and more than that, meeting and chatting with all of the people. When I told my parents about where we were going, they found a connection to Matt's family. Our big city is also a small town.
