Well, another Thanksgiving has come and gone. This is has become my favorite holiday as the years have gone by. Good food and good company. Each year it seems there are both constants and variables in each. This year Livia and Darren who have become friends of Sarah and Keith through an exchange program of sorts at Cornell. They are from China. Livia is an MBA student and Darren, her husband, driver, cook and chief bottle washer as the saying goes. This was their first Thanksgiving and they cooked a terrific steak/spinach stir-fry.
We also had some significant help in the kitchen from Zhora as you can see in the photos below.
New apron made with love by G'ma Karen.
Makin' some celery boats!

Denise and her ladies.
Just a sliver more, with help from four-legged friends.
Nice smile......

On Saturday we had another gathering at Veneta's house with a surprise event mixed in.
G'ma & G'pa doing their thing.

Party royalty!
The party's over, it's time to call it a day...........
Nice photos! We had such a wonderful Thanksgiving. Wish we lived a little closer so that we could do dinner a little more often. Looking forward to coming back to Cleveland with Livia and Darren to tour the city when the weather is a little better.
