Thanksgiving 2008 in The Garden State



Our first Thanksgiving with Michael Henry was superb. My family was together at Michael and Lia's new home, which is the perfect party house, fully equipped with a “beer tender” and a fire pit. We managed to get through the day (actually twos days as we all stayed the night) with nary a squabble...with the exception of a minor altercation about the rules of Texas Hold Em...which was settled expeditiously enough...
football was watched (and played)…kids rumbled around the house wreaking havoc….wine made me aglow…food and company was top notch and all and all great times were had and memories made.
Michael Henry could not have been more in his element; he loves to be around people and as usual he was simply a complete and utter joy to be around! Michael even participated in the traditional Thanksgiving feast, he had his first bite of sweet potato! He loved it!

blog about a blog -Volume I, Chapter 7


I am simply blogging about this so that I do not forget this idea later on.
Assuming I continue this blog, my ultimate idea is to put the blogs into a book form with each year being a new volume....by the time Michael Henry is 18 years of age he would be the proud new owner of 18 volumes of blog goodness from his mommy!
(LOVE YOU MICHAEL! By now, you may have started reading volume I, and I presume your first semester at Harvard has already commenced...but Harvard or the local community college, I am sure I am very proud of you!)
