"Thanksgiving" with Aunt Julie and Uncle Stephen

The whole morning felt like Thanksgiving, but it was December 20. I mentioned going to Walgreens, and Julie said, "Would they be open?" But I knew what she meant. I had gotten up at 5:00 to put a huge turkey in the oven that we had prepared Lucy and Ethel style the night before. We had mashed potatoes, corn, those crescent rolls that have now become a holiday staple. . . It felt like a holiday. Obviously we obsessed over the food. Note how many actual people earned a place in our photo documentation.
