We have Thanksgiving on Friday these days, as we have family members whose work schedules make Thursdays difficult. I like doing it that way--I can watch the parade while I'm prepping the day before, and if I forgot something, the grocery stores are open but dead quiet on Friday morning.

Anyway, it was a small group this year--eight people! Considering that a couple of times I've cooked for more than 20, this was a snap. It was an afternoon of catching up and chatting and everyone being very social. This was quite an accomplishment, since many of our family members are introverts!

In the end, all the leftovers were packaged up and shipped away with the younger generation so they could enjoy my cooking for the next few days and Darwin and I wouldn't have to worry about how to eat everything before it spoiled.

It was a lovely day.
