Thanksgiving, Steeler Game, and #AmWatching

If you celebrate Thanksgiving, I hope you had a peaceful weekend (which might have been impossible if you braved the shopping crowds) spent with loved ones. We traveled to WV and celebrated our Thanksgiving on Friday with extended family, some we hadn’t seen in over a year. I mentioned last week we’re fried turkey fans, and Son #1 has assisted Mike and my dad several times in the prep and cooking.
