thanksgiving turkey

The turkey was 22 pounds.

I had to put a little of everything on my plate.

It was a classic Thanksgiving. Of course, there was turkey. We had a 22-pounder. And there were mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, cranberries, sweet potatoes, gravy and stuffing. Pumpkin and pecan pie. There was family too – my parents, brothers and their wives and kids. Football was on the television and also tossed around in the yard too.

There was a lot to be thankful for, including being surrounded by family and having a lovely meal. I forgot to watch the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade, but I did see the Charlie Brown special. Perhaps not surprisingly, I did have the usual turkey hangover. I think we all did. Well, except for my nieces and nephews. Nothing seemed to effect their energy and ability to run around the house.

My nieces drew hand turkeys for everyone.
