thanksgiving-8Oh, yum!

I never did get a picture of the people! I was waiting for everybody to be at the table – and when they were, I was eating too. 🙂

I learned something interesting about Allie (Josh’s girlfriend). Her grandma Margie was a high school friend of mine. None of us ever put it together until Allie showed her some pictures of Elizabeth and Nsimba’ s wedding. Her grandma said, “Is that Doris Jean? Why was she at the wedding?” She was surprised to learn that I am Josh’s grandma. I am anxious to meet her sometime. We haven’t seen each other for 50 years or more. If I remember correctly I worked with Margie’s mother at Raybestos-Manhattan after high school – 1961 to 1964 – until our son Jeff was born.
