The dawn of Thanksgiving morning on Pentoga Road |

I'm suffering from a food hangover this morning. Thursday's Mighty Milligan Thanksgiving Feast featured some outstanding cooking and as usual, I took advantage of everything. In most cases, more than once.

We arrived at Jeanne and Boyd's around noon and it was nonstop eating, loving, and talking from then on. The football games played in the background and many positioned themselves so they could keep on eye on the games and still be a part of the conversation in the kitchen. It was just as it should be.
The little cousins, cousinettes, (I just made that word up, but dang, it sounds sophisticated!) played, danced, and sang, and it seemed fitting that they were always close by.
The big people seem to understand that it's the little ones who keep the holidays lively.
Of course, Grady was in the house and we hung out a little, but he was so happy to have those more his age to play with.

So the day went. Sargie's sons, Cale, Shea, and Macrea, were all there and it was great to see each.
Grady absolutely adores his Uncle Cale. The way Grady's growing, they'll be the same size in the next year or two. |
I heard from all four of my sons at some point during the day. Josh and family were in Maine at his in-laws, Luke and Matt and families spent the day together at Matt's in Portsmouth, NH, and Andy is in Louisiana working. He still has two weeks to go before he'll be back with Ivy and Jess in Maine for the holidays.
The Milligan's are well protected. Nephew, Garth, was on duty, but took time out to stop by and enjoy the day. |
Sargie and I arrived home around six last night and were happy to settle in by the wood stove and enjoy the quiet of the evening.

We have no plans for today, absolutely none. I suppose at some point, we'll start to decorate for the holidays, but for now, it feels good just being lazy.

Time to move along. I think we gave the maid today off which means I'm going to have to get up and get my own cup of coffee.
After all, a man's work is never done.
So are the tales from Pentoga Road...
