Thanksgiving Day

While John and his mother went to the store for antipasti and wine, Jubilee and I went to Glen Island.  Unlike in the summer when it is very crowded, the island was mostly deserted on Thanksgiving morning.  Just us and a few jogger/walkers.  I love the way the rock and the land mix.
 Around 1pm we headed up to Darien CT for dinner with Joan and Hank and family.  There were 11 of us: me, John, Joan, Hank, David, Susan, Matthew, Ooma, Josephine (Hank's mother) Ed and Eddie.  And Jubilee, who was her usual charming self around company.  Hank had a special plate of turkey for her.

Everyone gathered around the kitchen table for the antipasti and shrimp.
 This is John and his 2 sisters.
 Dining Room Table is set and beautiful ...
 Pies look good ...
 Turkey and cranberries ...
 Hank carving the turkey ...
 Everyone STILL at the kitchen table (notice that Matthew has a little beard thing going on.  Looks good.  He's starting to look like Perry Mason!).
After we ate, there was still enough light for a stroll down to the end of the street and along the water.  I think this is Long Island Sound.
