Pretty standard 2-pager from me re: Thanksgiving Day in '06; we were meeting my family at my sister's in MN. Kinda freaked me out how simply/quickly this came together but that's what I was feeling for this one & I'm satisfied w/ that! I love meeting up w/ my out-of-state family for the holidays.

The scan chops off the side as usual. There's more of a left margin IRL than shown here. The pp was already swirled, I started to stamp more swirls but realized I only really wanted that 1 additional stamp.

No obligation at ALL to read the journaling but here it is for those interested:

"Thurs Nov. 23, 2006 – Happy Thanksgiving! Woke up early to breakfast w/ Mom & Dad, most eventually joined us. Then cooking & stuff - Mom started her lasagna & I offered to sous-chef Sarah as she prepared bread & apple pie (more involved than I anticipated but really fulfilling). Shirley made some tasty grilled veggies w/ pesto for a snack as the big meal was scheduled for 3PM. Out of the kitchen, had tons o' fun playing Uno w/ the kids & hanging out! Later, I made the “mystery grain”; I was surprising Greg by making one of his fave childhood dishes “farfel” (actually not really farfel, it's pearl barley in onion sauce but the family called it that, I secretly got the recipe from Shelly). Charlie showed up before the meal, Jon had told him half the fun was in the preparations! Overall holiday fun - scrapbook sharing (mine as well as Sally's & Sarah's '06 vacay books impressed), karaoke, game playing, music, etc. Then the feast! Greg was touched & really got a kick outta the surprise farfel. Everything was wonderful – corn casserole by Jon, Shirley's pesto salad dressing, Mom's lasagna (a superfave of mine for years!), my farfel, Sally's cranberry sauce, Sarah's bread, Sally's fish, etc! Yumm… Afterwards..."

(journaling continues to next LO re: karaoke, LOL).

TFL :)
