[VFB] How Was Your Thanksgiving?

[Jimmy D. Moore]

What a day!  All 6 of my kids, their spouses, 6 grandkids and two more 
on the way, yes, my middle son's wife is expecting again and so is my 
youngest daughter.  She found out Monday. It was a wonderful surprise, 
for she and Dale had been considering in-vitro.  It took them 4 years to 
have Kellen, and we celebrated his fifth birthday yesterday.  I think 
the good Lord was looking over them for sure. We also celebrated Chris 
my middle-son's birthday yesterday too.   Jody and I are looking forward 
to two "summer babies".

Anyway, it was a happy day for all, with the traditional turkey , 24 
pounds, cornbread dressing and Jody's litebread dressing, green beans, 
mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, tossed salad, broccoli-rice, etc. , 
etc.,  tea, 5 kinds of wine, Pies - sweet tater, pecan, apple, Jody's 
special pumpkin pie and of course a big birthday cake for Chris and Kellen.

All are gone back to their homes now except, Chris, Cathie and little 
Catie, they'll be heading back to Houston this afternoon.

As you might imagine, it gets very QUIET around here once everyone 
leaves.  Ahhhh, sweet quiet !

P.S. At dinner, I told everyone about Iain's post about our American 
Thanksgiving.  That got a huge laugh from all.
