Thanksgiving, 2009

.



Since Peggy and I are not heading anywhere for Thanksgiving, and Rose is heading to Milwaukee to spend the holiday with Bryn and their mother, I guess this re-run of a past Thanksgiving will have to do...... This is from 2004, the year Lucy decided to move all the tables into the long living room so all could sit at one table. I was skeptical at first, but it worked out really well......





Everything is all set for the festivities.





It made for a very pleasant afternoon meal.




Lot's of people were around for the day.




Hey, Tim even showed up... not a regular occurrence on Thanksgiving.




Oh, yeah, looking forward to this collection..




This is a first, the cooking crew hanging out around the deck. Charcoal, a grill..... hmmmm.




The kitchen was always full of people and lots of preparations going on.








Yay!!! Way to go, Dennis!!!




Late November grilling, can't be beat.



































Not sure about this weird snowman....

Hope everyone has a good, relaxing Thanksgiving!

Gene, Thanks for the wonderful pictures of that Thanksgiving. I remember how we got so excited about it and made up invitations for all. It was a splendid time. I was just talking to someone a couple days ago about that last dinner I prepared for the bunch (helped prepare, anyway) and the good time we had. Thanks again.

Love, Mom
