Thanksgiving is the best holiday in the year, because you have few decisions. People go home to be with extended family and eat turkey. Before dinner, folks watch the parade, followed by the dog show. Before and after dinner, people watch football. Oops. This year, many people are boycotting the NFL. What will they do now I wonder.
Today we celebrated in the home of Linda Creath, Christina's Mother. Also around the table were Nelson and Katey Creath, and their children Harrison and Sophie. And of course, Kate, Mary Frances and Molly were there too. We had a lovely time. Instead of saying a blessing, Nelson read Psalm 100, a tradition from Katey's grandmother's home, which her family has adopted.
Katey and Christina orchestrated the dinner. Linda really wanted everyone at her home for Thanksgiving, so in order to lighten her load, Christina and Katey brought all the food. The grandchildren waited on the table and helped with the clean up. Linda set the table while I did nothing, which is one of the advantages of old age. Once again, we enjoyed the benefits of family. The food was wonderful of course, as was the conversation. Thanksgiving feasts are the best meal of the year.
Linda has a dog named Bella. She likes to be with the people so Katey hooked the dogs leash around her waist and the dog followed her everywhere she went. The dog was happy and stayed close by Katey. We did not even know the dog was following Katey, Bella stayed so close to her. It was a clever trick. Bella was no bother to anyone and was happy as a clam.
