Thanksgiving

Besides a 21 lb turkey, we sacrificed a lot of sweet potatoes, an amazing amount of butter, a chocolate pie, and a few bottles of wine, but it was all for the greater good. Most of the gang is in the living room playing Tripoley - hard to tell from the exclamations and accusations who's actually ahead.

This was sort of a mixed year. Mom and Dad stayed home - I suppose this kind of thing is getting a little tough on them although we would have loved to have had them with us. I think we'll be running rations of turkey and stuffing over to their place tomorrow.  Bubbi, on the other hand, showed up from San Francisco an hour or so earlier, which was a wonderful surprise.  It turns out D was an integral part of the scheme. What a bunch of jokers!
