Believe it or not, there's more, as the buffet table was HUGE!! there was stuff there that I didn't touch because I couldn't identify it.

Our Thanksgiving Party lasts well into the weekend.

I got a cup of tea brewing right now, need to find something to deflate the belly....What gluttons we can be.

It was a peaceful day spent with lots of family, reminiscing about old times. We have A LOT to be thankful for. I hope we all took a moment of silence to ourselves to thank our Creator for all we have.
