Thanksgiving for Grampy!

The family came over, to visit and eat.

Everyone came, it was quite a treat!

Nana was late, but it was not her fault,

The East End Tabler's arrived before they thought.

Oops!  Go and get Nana, it just slipped my mind.
Mark made the trip, and put them behind.

The big dinner was eaten, with gusto and zest!

Erin and Jillian got their pie before all the rest.

When the big feast was over, all sat back and moaned,
but poor old Grampy in the kitchen to scrub all alone.

The dishes were piled to the ceiling with care,
for they knew that Grampy was scrubbing out there.

So I washed and I cleaned, til the dishes again shone,

Then they all said goodbye, and headed for home.

So that's how it is, Mimi fixes the meal,
I get stuck with the dishes, that's the whole deal!


Naw, that's not exactly how it went.  We all had fun, great to be with the family.  Erin and Jillian got their piece of pie first because I promised them they could have as big a piece of pumpkin pie as they wanted, and could put their own whipped cream on it.  So we had to get it first just in case the wanted a really big piece.
Other than Derby Day, I have to believe this is my favorite day of the year.  Only having fun with the family and eating.  Doesn't get much better than that!
