Family Thanksgiving


This Thanksgiving was a wonderful holiday for the Paces. Stephen and Barbara, Jeffrey, and Douglas and Veronica helped us celebrate the event. Even the flights from Georgia and Utah managed to be ahead of schedule. We celebrated Thanksgiving with a non-traditional (but excellent) loin of beef. The following evening most of the family enjoyed tempura and sushi (both Stephen and Ralph, however, avoided the sushi). And our final dinner was prepared by Veronica, featuring a fantastic Pastel de Choclo Chilean dish in the Pomaireware she and Douglas gave us for the event. Stephen and Douglas managed to trim some bushes (can't have them coming home and not doing some yard work). Even the Devi had to make some adjustments for the event, being evicted from her usual place of rest to new digs downstairs. Barbara led an interesting discussion about healthcare as the family, as usual, solved all the problems of the world sitting around the fireplace. We even managed to take in craft shows in Weston and at Black River High School while the "kids" hiked up Okemo. It was a really nice holiday.  Photos are available by clicking here.
