This Thanksgiving, I flew out to my uncle and aunt's house in northeastern Iowa, and my grandmother also joined us for the vacation - so it's kind of a Gentry family reunion? (*Except my mom wasn't there, nor was the rest of my immediate family, so it wasn't a
full family reunion. But, you know, I had that other family reunion post, so...)

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!
