Thanksgiving Dinner

Joe was home for Thanksgiving (just graduated from Marine boot camp) and the only way to give thanks for all the things we are grateful for, and say Welcome Home/Goodbye Joe was to have a dinner for all the families, friends and neighbors. Andy’s and Lori’s dining room wasn’t going to hold that crowd! So they hired the hall at the local firehouse.

Tables were set up for sitting at and tables for food. Oh, my gosh, did we have food. Everyone brought something. Notable was the turkey Kathy roasted and the ham Paul roasted. In addition we had roasted mixed winter veggies, mashed potatoes, stuffing, squash, cranberry sauce, gravy, rolls, butter, creamed corn casserole (to die for), a broccoli casserole, and another casserole I didn’t get a chance to investigate.

To say there was plenty of food left over for take-home, is an understatement.

And, yes, there was two fire calls while we were there so we all got to watch the trucks head out.

Two fire calls during Thanksgiving dinner! Now that's a different way to celebrate! Sounds like you all had fun.
