Thanksgiving

I do hope all who read this had a great day on Thanksgiving. We went to our friends', Bob & Joyce Brickley, house for dinner. Joyce is a great cook (they used to have a restaurant in Boston right in the historical district) and we had a wonderful meal. Being with friends doesn't take the place of family but it's very nice.

However, as I write this I realize I didn't miss my family so much on Thanksgiving as I did Bob and Billy DeMond. (over the years we and the kids have saved Christmas for our big holiday)We've been friends with Bob and Billy for over thirty years and they have been a part of almost every stage of our adult lives. From babies being born to parents dying. We don't keep in touch nearly as much as we should but they are both very special people and we love them like family.

Today we are having our own Thanksgiving with our Italian friends. Turkey and all the fixins'. I'll write and send photos so you can see. Almost everything we're having is not what Sicilians eat so it will be interesting to see their reactions.
