Thinkin bout Thanksgiving

I heard from Zachary yesterday and he says that he and Stacy will definitely be here for Thanksgiving. The last time they were here was Thanksgiving 2005, and they were part of the work crew that widened my path and washed all the windows and power washed the front porch. Wait until you see the path this year Zachary...It has stepping stones on it from the last big party on Yarnell Road.
I was looking for a recipe and I fount the menu from Thanksgiving 1999:
Turkey, dressing, cranberry jelly, gravy, ham, sweet potato casserole, broccoli salad, green jello salad, crockpot spinach, fresh veggies, homemade bread, red velvet cake, pumpkin pie, chocolate brownie pie, seven layer bars, tea, coffee..
We had 17 people here that year.
Do you remember the year that we had a hardship table? It was out on the screen porch and it was cold . We asked for volunteers to sit out there and our boy scouts and Uncle Paul were the tough ones. They ate with their coats on.
This year Rose wants everybody at the same table so she can look at her children. She thinks we can push the small table up against the big one. It will take our engineers to figure it our.
