I came home from Beige U. Wednesday night to find that Aby Eyeshine had volunteered her residence for the extended family's Thanksgiving dinner the following day. Everyone prepared their own meals and brought them over, so all Aby had to do was be a good hostess; a role she fulfilled admirably.
A good time was had by all, including the two grandmothers. I suspect that this played a role in Aby's offer, since they now are running her garage, and it's in Aby's interest to keep them cooperative. The offer of her home for one meal defused a potential flash point, all the while doing a good turn for her friends. (I continually find more and more reasons to admire her.)
Of course this Thanksgiving "dinner" was actually breakfast for me. After sundown I went over to Fenton's where I joined his family for their meal. Already full, I just ate a few insect wings.
