If President Bush shows up at my mother-in-law's, he will have lots of good food, adoring stares, amazing service, gifts bestowed... and a down-home friendly sampling of Brooklyn's original Dysfunctional Family Night.

Thanksgiving is also my birthday this year, so I'll just dream on...and you're welcome to come along for the ride.

Here we are at our last family gathering discussing the stuffing ingredients (don't get excited...notice the waxy glow on W.)

I'll leave an empty chair for him or Elijah.

LOL.... I would feel right at home except ya'll's accent would be different!

Happy birthday!!!

Another bit of vanity - but TODAY - is my grandson's birthday too. He was born in Wiesbaden, Germany last year while my son-in-law was in Iraq!

And... :-) ... the 24th is my favorite aunt's birthday! YOU are in GREAT company this week! BEST WISHES!!!
