We were invited to Susan Mernit’s home for Thanksgiving. It was refreshing to be around so many adults, and to discuss things that don’t make me cry with joy. Seriously, I am always just on the edge of crying because I have such a wonderful (literally) and awesome (literally) family. It was fun sharing exposure to Clover with others. And of course everyone became fans of em.
I don’t have many fond memories of Thanksgiving, since my family often blew-up emotionally during the holidays (Christmas was even worst). At any rate, since I’ve become an adult I was either left to my own devices, or joined Susan Magnolia’s family. She has a gazillion people in her family, so while there wasn’t violence, it wasn’t as if I fit in (or absorbed, as I suppose would be the case).
Last night was just a handful of people, a variety of personalities and ideas, and just a bunch of sincere, genuine conversation. Oh! And a frakin’ huge squash filled with vegan goodness that easily dwarfed the turkey! Great job Andrew!
