Thanksgiving was pretty good to us; we hope it was to you as well.<\/p>\n

Our son Gregory, daughter-in-law Beth, and grandson Quentin drove down from Las Vegas; our daughter Polly and her boyfriend David drove in from Ajo. Donna and Beth prepared the turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, sweet potatoes, cranberry dressing, and gravy; I smoked a pork butt. Costco supplied the pumpkin pie, which Donna supplemented with a lovely home-made cherry pie. There were relishes beforehand, more than enough to spoil appetites, though none of us found that to be a problem. There was football on TV, and a dog show. Since there was a strange dog in the house our cat Chewy moved into master bedroom closet, pulled the door shut behind her, and was unavailable for the group photo:<\/p>\n

In short, our Thanksgiving was magnificent, everything a Thanksgiving is meant to be. And we are indeed thankful.<\/p>\n

\nSome of our friends got to celebrate Hanukkah and Thanksgiving at the same time; I hope they had a doubly wonderful day. Facebook and Twitter were filled with happy entries … I didn’t see a single sad one … so apart from the poor families on the Eastern seaboard who had to travel yesterday, I’m betting it was one of the nation’s best Thanksgivings.<\/p>\n
