Well, the holiday came and went. It was a blast. It started this morning, around 10 to 11 when my Mom, Dad, and Nana showed up with the food and supplies. Spend most of the start of the day cooking and prepping things. It was a lot of fun. Then my brother and sister and her husband came over. Dinner was excellent. The only hitch was carving the turkey. My dad brought an electric cutter that was older than me, and hasn't been used since before my sister was born. Well, it did not work too well, and kept spitting its blades off and causing turkey to fall to the floor. So it was promptly removed from duty and a standard knife took its place. It was a wonderful evening with family and good food. The only problem is that now everyone is gone. At least they all helped me clean! (And while just waiting around, Nana insisted on cleaning things around the house, too!)
