No crying over spilled milk.
Our young friend has insurance.
Who Is Missing?
November 1942. It looks like a whole generation of military age men and women are missing from this Thanksgiving gathering.
I remember the glasses
Or at least the identical ones that my grandmother had. Her's were ruby red. This brings fond memories of big dinners when we visited her on vacation.
A Woman's Work is Never Done.
Apparently, Mrs. Landis is still working in the kitchen.
Table manners
When I was about this boy’s age, one of my chores was to set the table.
Fork on the left, knife and spoon on the right with the sharp edge of the knife facing the fork to protect the spoon from the fork.
Thank God for tryptophan
Talk about awkward. You were lucky if all you you heard were bad Dad jokes.
Boy Dinner
I see Junior has a tray as part of his place setting. Looks like he's just been informed by the photographer that if he misbehaves at the grownups table, it will be a quick and very easy banishment to the kids' table. Hence Junior's shocked face!
Cranberry Logs
We enjoy making different cranberry relishes and sauces every Thanksgiving using fresh berries, but my 93-year-old father-in-law insists on the canned variety. It may be just the perspective, but it looks like the Landises' cans were extra tall.
The kid's on a tray
... so he doesn't soil the tablecloth. LOL
