ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL THANKSGIVING: Turned out that we didn’t have too much food — there was a little bit of leftover turkey, and an even littler bit of leftover lamb, but it was a crowd of good eaters and the leftovers were pretty minor.

Helen and I realized today that this is the 14th time we’ve done the Thanksgiving dinner for both our families. We started when we’d just moved in together, and we’ve continued every year since. The crowd gets bigger, but it’s a very nice thing to have. Hope your Thanksgiving was fun, too.
