Yesterday, I got together with some of my swing dancing friends in St. Augustine for a special Thanksgiving celebration. “Friendsgiving”, as we called it, was a wonderful way to spend the day and I enjoyed every minute of it from beginning to end. Here are some of the things we did.
I was one of the last to arrive but managed to make it shortly before lunch began. When the food was ready, we sat down and feasted while listening to some music and enjoying each other’s company. A few others came in toward the end of lunch and, once everyone was there, we took a few pictures together before heading out to take more pictures at Flagler College and go for a nice walk around town. Then we headed back to change into some more comfortable clothes and watched The Princess Bride. I had seen most of it on several previous occasions but yesterday was the first time I’d watched the movie all the way through. We talked and visited some more after the movie ended before saying our good nights and parting ways.
In addition to being one of the best Thanksgiving celebrations I’ve ever had, Friendsgiving was also one of the best days I’ve had in a long time. It was wonderful to relax and visit with so many amazing people, including some whom I don’t get to see very often. Although it was just one day, it felt like we had spent several days with each other by the time it ended. Friendsgiving was a fantastic event and I’m so thankful that I got to be a part of it.
