• SCENES FROM THANKSGIVING

  

  Everywhere David goes, he's surrounded by girls.

  

  Sometimes they even fight over him.

  

  "We're not hungry or anything, but can you speed it up a little?"

  

  "That's better."

  See?  Young people can too be useful.  The older four grandchildren took on the job of clean-up without even being asked. Their parents trained them well.  Thanks, guys!  (I've always thought Thanksgiving dinner is THE hardest meal to clean up from.  Many's the time I've just wanted to set off a bomb in the kitchen and start over.)

  

  The bold and the beautiful deciding where to go shopping.  The plan at the time we left the house to come home was for them to go out at midnight.  I don't know what time they got back, but as of 11 a.m. today they were still asleep.  Oh to be young!

  As usual, Barb did a sensational job of spearheading Thanksgiving dinner.  She makes it look easy, but we women know how much work is involved in getting a holiday dinner together for 16 people.  Everything was delicious.  It was a great family time with lots of laughs and no fistfights broke out.
