Thanksgiving dinner is over, and the last of my family have left. About 90%, or maybe more, of the cleanup is done, and I have the first of two loads of table linens in the washer. The rental chairs have been collected, the recyclables gathered, and the dishwasher is running as we speak. Most of the dishes were hand washed by my nieces, but I’m cleaning up the dessert plates and a few pans.
\nIt was lovely! One of my nieces said that this is the most incredible meal our family has during the course of the year. I think it’s because everyone rises to the challenge and brings their finest recipes. As a family, we love to try new recipes, so there are always too many appetizers and desserts. We have food left over for days of meals, and I have to surf for ways to use up leftover ham.
\nI got to see parts of my family I haven’t seen for several years, and I played with a one year old who wore me out just watching him. I love Thanksgiving.
\nThank you, to my family, for making it such a wonderful day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
