Turkey Day

Dreary outside...

Warm kitties
inside...

Rain spattered windows.

It's a good day
to be inside
fixing food
for the Thanksgiving feast.

The kids
are busy
on computers.

But Kitty
wants to help.

Mashed taters...

Gluten-free
pumpkin pie...

It's time
to take our fixin's
to Nic's house.

Back to Graceland Avenue.

The house
looks so
warm and cozy
on this rainy day.

Here we are!

Tom greets
Dustbunny.

Nicky brings
Gramma Gene
from Zionsville.

The table
sits ready...

While we
sit and chat.

Tom settles in
with Misty,
the 20 year old kitty...

...while Marty
whips up
gluten-free gravy
in the kitchen.

(The secret
ingredient
is corn starch.)

Nicky
comes in
to help.

The turkey
is ready...

...and kitty
wants
to help, too!

All of us
gather together
for the family feast.

...sharing memories

and stories...

...and plans
for the Christmas season
to come.

Too soon
the meal
is done.

Clean up
the crumbs...

Drive home
to New Castle...

...past the festive
lights...


...of neighbors
and home.
