Happy Thanksgiving

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. I know I enjoyed mine. I made the trip to my hometown in order to meet up with family for a Thanksgiving feast. My oldest brother and his wife, my sister-in-law, held the event at their house. Here are a few things they did that I found clever:

Turkey was served but they also served ham (for those who like options or don’t like turkey).

They had an excess of mashed potatoes. This is important because running out of mashed potatoes during Thanksgiving dinner only puts everyone in a bad mood. Also, mashed potatoes go fast.

Appetizers were available before and after the meal.

I was not pleased that we played Apples to Apples… A game with no strategy! A game that we now play at every family gathering! Meaning, we never play my favorite, Balderdash. How tragic. Although I did find it amusing when for the category “Unnatural” my nephew insisted on picking The Vatican. “I don’t know what it is but it just sounds strange!” he declared.

And now, it is time for much needed sleep.
