Homemade Chicken & Dumplings for dinner. Closest I could get to cooked bird.
No leftovers from Thanksgiving at my house as we spent Thanksgiving at Churchhill. The buffet is just passable, but everything else is so much fun. 4 tables in a square so everyone can see and talk to everyone.
We try to do it about every 5 years since the whole family loves racing and we like to get the littles started early.

Our parents have both passed on but for the first time, all the rest of us were there. All my siblings/spouses; all their children, spouses and children; right down to the newest 3 month old.
My 6 yr old grandson hit on the first horse he picked so he was in all the way at that point. Watching the screens, looking at the program. Waiting for the call to the post and heading out to the balcony to watch.
After the last race, back to the hotel, change, find a central spot to hang out, bring out the coolers and order pizza.
If you don’t mind giving up a yummy homemade Thanksgiving meal it is quite a nice way to spend time together.
Go Cats! Everyone has already prayed, so let’s hope the basketball God has listened and the moral, ethical thing happens. Ls down, utter devastation in Papa John tonight!
