This Roadside Notes episode tells the story of a Thanksgiving spent on Route 66, in a small Flagstaff café running on the last scoops of stuffing and the final crumbs of pie. What began as a simple dinner on the road became a moment of unexpected grace when four strangers shared dessert and found themselves connected by more than a holiday.

In a room full of travelers — truck drivers, young couples, families far from home — Mary noticed an older couple quietly grieving the loss of their holiday tradition. One generous gesture turned into two, and soon four slices of pie brought four people together in the kind of warmth no menu can promise.

This is a story about gratitude that whispers, kindness that multiplies, and the holy way strangers become family when you make room for one more at the table.
