Thanksgiving Eve

Martha Spong

It's Thanksgiving Eve, and we are preparing for the Bi-Annual Thanksgiving Eve Festival of Meatloaf (here's the story of our first celebration). Snowman arrives on a train from Beantown in a few hours, and then we will tuck into two kinds of meatloaf, mashed baked potatoes (by request), maple-glazed carrots and Brussels sprouts, followed by Apple Pan Dowdy and everyone's favorite molasses cookies.

Yes, we made more.

Some will go with Snowman and Light Princess to their father's celebration, and others will go with Pure Luck and me to his great-aunt's house, and yet others will stay right here.

And the misfits?

Don't worry. All taken care of!
