Here in the Perch we bumped butts in our tiny kitchen like raucous rumba dancers until we prepared a feast of mythic proportions. Needless to say, we were wildly successful. All of our immediate family was present. We number twelve, missing only the fathers of our boy grandchildren. Our loss. Steve treated us with a smoked turkey that he nurtured on his Traeger BBQ. We made our normal cornbread sausage stuffing, a regular turkey, and young Falcon did yoeman's work helping Mimi prepare the crescent rolls. Angela brought her famous corn casserole; Libby some puff pastry pre dinner snacks and the old timey green bean casserole; Bonnie brought her mom's china, extra serving spoons and a pumpkin pie. Leticia brought two pre-meal snacks: chestnuts wraps, and bacon and cheese wraps. Wine was served, and after dinner we laughed heartily at the game of LTR. Emily, Sarah, and Sawyer were the big winners, which is saying something because we played for real money: quarters. Mimi glowed the whole night because, of course, like most Mimi's, she relished the idea of having all her "chicks" in the nest. A good time was had by all. We can safely say, and thankfully say, that life is good, especially today.
