Wish that pic was in color; intrigued to see if Loretta's skirt was indeed in a correct Clan tartan (for her, any of the ones for Douglas or Young).

Hope you all had a lovely Thanksgiving.

I have to ask seeing as I'm running backwards and forwards, buying gifts, organising the school fair, baking cakes for the Christmas productions, sorting out my Christmas cards and the kids etc. How do you find time to have Thanksgiving too?

It depends on who's doing the cooking. A fellow our company does business with stopped in Weds and said, "I love Thanksgiving! All I have to do is show up and eat food!" Most people I know take at least one dish of food to the gathering, so the cook doesn't have quite so much to prepare. (Other than Cleaning the House for Company, making sure all the silverware and dinnerware is clean and presentable, thinking about a "theme" for the decorations, scratching said "theme" in favor of clean and presentable, dealing with lots of "help" in the kitchen, then dealing with the cleanup when all the "help" goes home....finally....)

So is it like Christmas but without the presents? Do you have to go to work the next day? I love Christmas but there comes a point when the kids have gone to bed that I hope that the guests will get tired and go home (they never do) over exposure to one's in laws from 10 am until late is copeable just once a year.

I'm thankful for that pic of Lex Barker and Jeff Chandler, and I'm sure some folks around here are very thankful for that pic of Gloria Grahame. ;) (I am too, she was one of the greats.) (And Hope Lange looks as sweet as a strawberry sundae.)

It was my pleasure, Paula.
