It's become tradition here along the Muddy Banks of the Might Ohio that family collects at my Mom and Dads House for Thanksgiving. And as you might expect, the table settings have increased in number over the years. This year may be the new recorded record for the clan. <br /><br />Of course with such a crowd, Mom takes back seat to cooking, setting at the table offering hints on how to make things taste special as only she can do. My wife, Mary (I believe that's the first time I've posted her name here), my two daughters, my eldest sons spouse, and my youngest sons girl will be doing the cooking.<br /><br />When we set down and give thanks, this is what My Mom and Dad will see.<br /><br />Me and my wife, <br />My eldest son Jim with Dawn AND my brand new granddaughter Geneva Mingtian. Since Dawn is from China, her father and sister-in-law will be there also. Father Lau and S-I-L, Ei Mein.<br /><br />Eldest daughter Missy w/boyfriend and his daugher and Missy's daughter Megan.<br /><br />Youngest daughter Amy with husband Bill and their three boys BJ, Damion and Cole.<br /><br />Youngest son Jim with his girl Lisa.<br /><br />So in my Mom and Dads Point of View, it would tally to 1 son, four grandchiildren, 5 great grandchildren and guests.<br /><br />My Dad is 81, My Mom 75. Not a bad lifes' work.<br /><br />My best wishes to you all for a wonderful day with those that make life special.<br /><br />Can't wait for the leftover!!
