Thanksgiving With My Family

Thanksgiving with my Family


Thursday is the day our country has chosen to celebrate
Happy gathering of friends and family
Another year to give thanks for our many blessings
New Babies to kiss
Kids whose growth is measured and exclaimed over
Sameness of tradition celebrated..
Gastronomic extravaganza  served with love
Imprudent jokes by Uncle Dave
Vertical becomes horizontal after the meal
Incredible snores from the front room
NINERS lose yet again...
Grateful for family, friends and the food...we head for home.

For the Thanksgiving contest...
