The Thanksgiving dinners are coming into focus, numbers somewhat down from last year. But last year we really pushed the envelope! 19 people for the Thursday dinner! And quite a few the year before. We had to move the couch just to fit everybody in. Dennis intoning his usual 'no way can we have this many people, no way no way' but we do.
But this year the greater G family decides that they have other plans. Dang. The T family will go to her sister in law's brother. But the Gs are coming.
The Sunday gathering will just include that immediate family though it appeared for awhile that some anunts and uncles might come.
Naomi will be home for both; I'm please about that. Significant others Matt, Alice and Jessica are invited. to either or both.
A week or so ago, when I was in Illinois, we went to the orchard place out in the country. We also stopped at a vegetable stand just about to close for the winter. A raw cloudy autumn afternoon. I purchased several gourds from this group to be part of the cornucopia centerpiece. Or maybe as its own display depending on how we do the tables. So colorful! Years ago, I bought a wicker cornucopia at a garage sale and it's been my mainstay ever since. You can't go wrong with it! Every year considering purchasing a floral centerpiece but you can do just as well with fruits and vegetables. The horn of plenty. Including my new goufrds
