Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

Ah, a pound and a half up, but worth every ounce.  We had a great and grateful Thanksgiving.  Breathing clean air was wonderful, the rain was wonderful, the meal was wonderful and the  family was all together wonderful.  The little grandsons bungled, the granddaughter helped cook and was her aunt's assistant for the pies.  We all got along pleasantly and everyone agreed it was the most delicious meal ever.  The washing dishes part was shared by all, and by the next morning I could put away the platters and big bowls and all the paraphaealia we use only once or twice a year.  By the next evening I'd given the kids leftovers and the refrigerator could close again, and we'd had turkey cassarole for our day after  Thanksgiving meal.  Yesterday we drove our older daughter and granddaughter to the airport, and we had a salad for dinner and watched "Chappie".  Today we go to the premiere of an opera, "It's a Wonderful Life", which has gotten good reviews.  Then on to regular life for a few weeks, and the ordinary tasks that comfort us.
