T for Thanksgiving!

I like how our additional table (build a longer table is my guiding motto), turns our seating into a T for Thanksgiving!

(Although I want to call it Friendsgiving or Thanksloving or something else entirely to avoid celebrating colonial narrative... even as I acknowledge the aspect of gratitude... anyway...)

I don't care about its colonial origins. I care more about its national origins--President Lincoln declared it a national holiday, and he's my hero.

Your Tgiving looks merry and wonderful. I know everyone had a fantastic meal and a good time at your Table.

What a full and beautiful table.

Nance, Yes! I have a renewed appreciation for the holiday, because I learned JUST THIS YEAR (from the Heather Cox Richardson newsletter) that it was Pres. Lincoln who declared it a national holiday in the context of the Civil War. THAT is definitely worth celebrating!!

Thanks, Suzanne. It was wonderfully distractifying!

What a crowd. I'm sure it was a gathering full of love.

I would have been miserable as a lawyer. I had to do lawyer-like things today in my role as a CASA and also in my role as a Title IX advisor...
