Thanksgiving – The Good and the Bad (But Mostly the Good)
With the approaching holidays, Michelle and Suzanne are devoting this second episode of the podcast to all things Thanksgiving. As all rich conversations do, theirs tends to veer off into fascinating asides, but they always find their way back to the main topic of Thanksgiving and all that goes along with it, especially champagne and vodka. In addition to describing what their Thanksgiving holidays usually entail, including traditions and some memorable stories, our hosts also share details about their grocery shopping practices, Suzanne’s pantry, the love of her life, and a glimpse of what life is like in Alaska. Shopping, Black Friday, and even a little bit of Christmas decorating are all explored as well. Prominent throughout the episode is their discussion of those aspects of life, unique to each of them, for which they are thankful – and there are a lot. Once again this week, you are invited to laugh along as you recognize some aspects of your own self in the entertaining stories and insightful observations of these two great friends.
