Thankful we are

Thanksgiving came to our house disguised as a pilgrim this year. This is Todd and his niece, our granddaughter, Madi, posing for us as John Smith and Virginia Dare. Madi chose not to appear in period costume but Todd decided he would. He wasn't happy with the meal of the day, however, wishing instead for succotash, fresh venison and quail. The now traditional fare of turkey, dressing, mash potatoes and gravy was in ample supply. Along with the very popular early Plymouth drinks Coca Cola and southern sweet tea. So the rest of us ate largely, with one end of the table taking a special liking to pickles, sweet and dill.
