thanksgiving pics and links

So I had fun hosting and cooking yesterday.

This Thanksgiving was the first time my Mom met Eileen’s Mom. Sarah brought “crackers” which didn’t pop very well but did have fun hats.

I made a traditional sweet potato casserole for my Mom.

Green beans for my wife.

A bit of bruschetta for hors d’ouvres.

Mostly kept moving around in the kitchen while cooking.

The kitchen was chaotic.

But the table looked pretty good when laid out.

And even better with the people seated around it (all except Eileen’s sister Nancy who is taking the picture).

Note the four clocks for the four time zones where my nuclear fam live.

A good time was had by all including Edison the cat.

My stupid stupid Google news has decided that my location doesn’t really have coverage. So I turn to other sources even the national papers.

I just can’t get over online college courses. I suppose it’s only a matter of time (or retirement) before I do one of these.
