Since we met in the Army, and have always lived far away from our families, we had a lot of Thanksgiving dinners with just the four of us.
Then we realized we were not the only ones in this situation, and decided to invite other 'lone' families for dinner on that day.
Each year the guest list has gotten larger. This year we had 21 people.
When we were done eating, we played a Thanksgiving trivia game and learned alot about Thanksgiving history.
For example:
What vegetable did the pilgrims have available for thanksgiving but did not use because they thought it was poisonous?
A. Beans B. Pumpkin C. Tomatoes D. Potatoes E. Cauliflower
Anwer to trivia question: D. Potatoes
Hmm... hard to imagine Thanksgiving without potatoes!
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
