Christmas Fete at the Truck Stop

Hope you enjoyed the Second Mile Advent Calendar blog.

This has been a wonderful Christmas.

Yesterday on our drive, the grass nearly glowed with buttery and coppery colors. Today we saw coyote and muledeer, eagle and roadrunner. The holiday has been calm and peaceful and restoring. And fun.

We'd heard the truckstop at the Plateau exit had a great turkey dinner. Always up for an adventure, we thought it was worth a try. The huge meal was covered with gravy, yielding the burden of color to the single lonely yam. It was pretty much what you'd expect from a truckstop holiday meal--a big plate of salty food--but the employees seemed to be in good cheer. And as a result, we had fun, too.
