On Thanks- giving we drove across the river and through some woods to our friends the Myers in Illinois. As usual, Karen had laid a festive table (three tables, actually) and there were plenty of hands to help get everything ready.
Gary, our host, roasted the turkey in his barbecue on the deck. He and his sister- in-law carved it when everything else (potatoes, green bean casserole, rolls, dressing, etc.) was ready. I was mashing a huge pot of potatoes while they were doing this.
Norm, who was helping me hold down the potato pot while stirring, was the recipient of a test piece of turkey. He pronounced it done to perfection.
We had a most enjoyable afternoon with our friends and their families--about 20 were there and it was quite a scene, with the high school age nephew getting to drive Gary's convertible (with Gary as co-pilot) and a cousin making beaded angels and the little girls doing whatever little girls do when they are at Aunt Karen's house.
