Thanksgiving here in Carlisle was fun and relaxed. My parent’s and I enjoyed a wonderful turkey, succotash, potatoes and cranberry sauce dinner that my Mother prepared in splendid fashion – verrrry good! Today (Friday after) is a bit cold and rainy – but we met the Maryland Collins’ and went over to look at ...
