Thankful Thanksgivings

Carolyn's Thanksgiving table set this noon for the six of us: Julie & John, Ben & Carolyn, Elaine and I. Ben had already worked on the turkey and additional dishes were being carried to the  table resulting in a delicious dinner. It would be nice to have the boys and their families here but accept their commitments. It's just great to have 6 chairs around the table rather than the 4 or 5 that we had some years past. I'm including pictures taken in 2010, 2007, and 2006.

This was 2010 here to the right when we had 6 chairs at the table.

While we had a nice Thanksgiving dinner back in 2007, there were only 4 chairs with Julie back in New York City.

This was a joyous group back in 2006 with Julie there with us but looking back helps us realize how thankful we are for having 6 chairs filled, a longer table and even extra boards that can be added to extend it.
