I am in my late 40's living in my adoptive home of Sierra Vista, AZ where I work in civil service. I retired from the U.S. Army after 20 years of service to my country. Thanksgiving dinner is my favorite meal to cook. I kick everybody out of the kitchen as I normally prepare dinner for about 12-20 guests. Pie Night. On Thankgiving Eve, freinds and family come to my house for an evening of socializing and pie eating. Usually on Thanksgiving Day everyone is too full to enjoy pie so we feast on pie the evening before.
