Happy Thanksgiving Shorpies!!
Time to play "guess the food". I'm not very good at the game so may need help from fellow Shorpies. I see:
Cornbread ( and lots of it )
Green beans
Rolls
The adults and 2 older children are drinking coffee or tea?
Raisin pudding?
A plate of chicken?
A large mason jar of ... salad dressing?
A large bowl of gravy?
Sugar bowl in the center?
Everybody has a bowl of ... cranberry sauce? ( I have thanksgiving on the brain.)
Yeah we have it tough these days 2018

This photo reminded me somewhat of the attitude seen at our Thanksgiving dinner last night. Wish I had a photo to remind me, like these folks did. The ironic sight of oil lamps and an electric iron, both atop the pie safe, is pretty charming here, too.
Happy Thanksgiving
What a beautiful photo of an Americans during difficult times! Maybe poor in finances, but clean and a great family.
Lemuel and Susie lived long lives
