A Feast of Photos


















Thanksgiving menu included turkey, gravy, roasted Brussels sprouts, roasted root vegetables, sweet potato pone, Italian sausage stuffing, cranberry jelly, cranberry jelly slices from the can (a must in our family), mashed potatoes, Manhattans for my father and me, sparkly cider for my mother and the kids, apple pie and banana cream pie. Sophie continues to have an unprecedented string of days free of seizures.

We are grateful.

  1. Elizabeth, it is so wonderful to hear the news about Sopie. I am so glad. Yo and your family are beautiful. Your parents are gorgeous. Your table is gorgeous. I had a wonderful Thankgiving dinner and your pictures make me hungry all over again. I am grateful I went to a friend's home and did not take leftovers as I would be eating again. Happy Thanksgiving. I wish for Sophie to continue to be seizure-free, for $ to drop from the heavens so you can get the tincture she needs comfortably, for Oliver's home schooling to go well, for Henry to continue on his path of goodness and for you and your husband lightness for all you must contend with. Sweet Jo

  2. What a gift for Sophie and all of you. I so hope this can continue!! A glass (or two) of Knob Creek to start sounds just right. The table looks delicious. The guests too!

    Best,
    Bonnie

    Sophie- Oh, dear, dear Sophie and may she have strings and strings of good days.
