Happy Thanksgiving! This is always a time for families to get together to reminisce, enjoy each other    and eat until they can’t eat no more. Last night Evelyn, Rachel and my nephew Nick spent a nice evening relaxing by playing cards and laughing a lot.

Being the last of 11 kids, I am used to having large Turkey Day Festivities. It was typical to have 50 to 60 people at our house for dinner. Between the kids, their spouses and kids, friends, not to mention the Aunts, Uncles and cousins. It could only be described as a zoo.

Even now Thanksgiving isn’t just a day, it is a weekend. Tonight we are having dinner with family friends that are going to be moving to Canada the beginning of next year. Friday we will have dinner with my two sisters and their families. Saturday we will have another dinner with my brother and sister-in-law along with their kids and their families.

Turkey for dinner tonight. Lasagna for dinner tomorrow and a standing rib roast on Saturday. I will have had my fill of meat for the next several weeks all in three days. I think I already have a stomach ache just thinking about it. But really I wouldn’t have it any other way…

Evelyn, Rachel and I wish you nothing but the best for this weekend. Hope you have enough to eat in a relaxed and family atmosphere. Be careful on Black Friday; don’t spend all of your shopping money in one day. There are always more ways to spend money than you can imagine. I always have to check my list twice because I am always forgetting someone.

Be safe and share the love with your family and friends.
