Seven ninths of our immediate family plus three kittens assembled for our Thanksgiving meal of turkey (duh), mashed potatoes, corn, cranberry sauce, asparagus, broccoli and yams. Completely forgot to make the gravy and the dressing. At least we can make those later for all the leftover turkey. For dessert we enjoyed cupcakes and both apple and pumpkin pies. The day ended with a really nice, puffy cloud-filled sunset to the west. All in all a pretty decent Thanksgiving. The glass of red wine probably helped.<\/p>\n
