Yesterday, we celebrated Thanksgiving as a team of eight. Cammylammydingdong, Nattyjane, Sistersue, joined Miss, Krit, Josh, Tay, and me. Miss made everything but the appetizer and cranberries. She worked herself to the bone putting together a feast for all to remember and enjoy. We sat in the seldomly used dining room, where I oftentimes read … Continue reading Nickies…
