The Thanksgiving Fun Continues

Not long after we got home, Grandma Connie and Grandpa Charles arrived. After lunch and the turkey was in the oven, everyone took a nap except Grandma Connie and Julie, who chatted for a bit. Everyone woke up just before the final dinner flurry, and Grandma Connie and Grandpa Charles kept the bambini corralled in living room while Ted and Julie got the spread on the table. Joe learned that Grandma Connie draws a mean lion. She draws a mean everything; she is an artiste! Grandpa Charles gave a very nice blessing before the meal. It was building to a lovely conclusion, but Joe wanted something and after being told one too many times to please wait until grace was over, he'd had enough! The classic Joe siren-esque wail ensued, so we said amen, and dug in, thankful for all our blessings, Waily McGee and his sidekick, Birdie McGoo topping the list.
