Thanksgiving.

I have so much to give thanks for, really I'm quite spoiled. I had my parents, my sister and her family and my brother over for Thanksgiving dinner and everything worked out just right. Dad also spent the couple of days he was here to fix my kitchen drawers and rewire the bathrooms and ground the plugs by the kitchen sink. Samuel got a buzz from helping him.

I feel much safer in the kitchen, feeling like I won't burn my house down, and it is also very handy to be able to blow dry and curl my hair in my bathroom. Here is a picture of the guests and the tables...


I was happy that I had cloth enough for the tables and that they looked nice. The turkey also turned out well, it was done by 9:00am and made the house smell great. I just left it in the oven and it cooled just right to be carved at 11:30. It couldn't have gone better. Martha made the potatoes, the cranberry salad, the vegetable tray, another salad and one pumpkin pie, Samuel made another pumpkin pie and an apple pie that Dad quite enjoyed and Mom brought the rolls, some green beans, the ice cream and herself.

It was very nice to have Mom there to help set up the tables and just get everything organized. I always feel very fortunate to have the family I do. Like I said, I'm spoiled.
