What a perfect Thanksgiving gathering we had here on Riverbend Drive! Matt, Aaron, and Jamie joined us for some marvelous food prepared by a marvelous chef we know, sometimes called Cia. The guys came early and we had some good fun raking leaves, taking summer furniture in, and generally doing very helpful fall chores around the place. It was great fun for me (and that's an understatement) to work with these beloved guys like pals. There was as much laughter and good cheer as work. Lucky Hammy!
