Thanksgiving: Present:

Thanksgiving here in rural Kansas: 15º in the morning, and not too much warmer in the afternoon. And shall we give thanks for the wind? There must be something beneficial about Kansas wind. (That will appear as an epiphany when I get that wind turbine in my back yard.)

The menu? Turkey, green bean casserole, scalloped potatoes and fennel (from our garden), bowls of spiced nuts - compliments of the Grad Student, homemade bread, and collard greens (too, from our garden). Tonight we will have turkey tetrazzini and a decadent chocolate cake. I can hardly wait for the others to get home from their movie (Harry Potter!).

Here are the players of the Armstrong 2010 T'giving Day:

The Grad Student

The College Grad a boyfriend...
another boyfriend...

another boyfriend : That Spouse o' Mine!

Irakli found an Easter Egg ... not sure how that happened...

The music hour...

The missing one:

But he will be home in 3 short weeks, and we will be tickled pink!
