The Tally-ho family celebrated Thanksgiving a few days early for scheduling reasons and had a jolly time together, with conversation ranging from the new Wegman's supermarket ("huge!") to the history and future of trade unions. The evening was punctuated with calls of "What's the password?" as we all tried to connect our devices to the host's WiFi and Facebook to share photos and stories. Family tradition was broken when my mother banned cranberry sauce from the table as being too high in sugar. But she atoned for it when she issued a few of us pens and an L.L. Bean catalogue and told us to select our Christmas presents.
All of us offered suggestions for what word the trend-setting Young Relative should introduce at Patton Middle School to replace the now-tired "indeed." If your kids start saying "Insightful!" or "That party was such a romp," you have Tilda to thank.
Happy Thanksgiving to my readers. As I am all year round, I'm grateful for your tips, your praise, your criticism and your support in so many ways.
