The guests have all gone home, the leftovers packaged away, and even the dishes are almost all cleaned, so our Thanksgiving festivities here at the BlueTower are about wrapped up. The final head-count here turned out to be 21, covering two species (there are a pair of dogs in there) and four generations, while accounting for the numerous twists and turns in what has become quite the extended extended family. By all accounts a fine old time was had by all, so here's hoping that others' festivities went well as well.
