Thanksgiving 2010

It was a real treat to be able to attend a large Thanksgiving dinner with my family, cousins, friends and some of the steps (stepsiblings). There hasn't been a raucous T-day in this house since Tim had his first stroke so this one was very special.

The living room was cleared out and seating areas were created in odd spots to make room for the five tables that made up the feast.

Steps, friends and girlfriends
Of the four in the picture three have had husbands leave them for other women and in one case another man. One tires of weak men.

It wouldn't be T-day without some live music

I DO remember how to smile!

Young 'uns

Lucy, John and Ellen backed by the ancestors, hopefully they are happy with what they see


Family fun
