They came!
65 in total—the swim/dive team, coaches, bus driver, and a few parents in town for an NCAA meet
They ate!
veggies and salad...
17 loaves of homemade bread...
18-pounds of pasta...
24-pounds of meatballs (325—I counted)...
12-pounds of fudge...
100 mini cupcakes...
8-dozen cookies...
and so on….
They brightened the house with laughter!
Priceless
Then they drove off into the sunset,
headed back to their university in NY
whew!
The Hound is exhausted and not straying too far from the sofa today! The Hound will occasionally get enough energy to thump her tail a few times while we
plan Thanksgiving dinner …
it's just embroidery, have fun with it!

I'm sure you are exhausted, Cathy, but that had to be a good time!
Cathy, did you have to cook all that food?! Wow! Rest up now. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours. xo
OMG! how did the shoes smell??? LOL! And who, pray who? made all that food?
Laughing Ridgely as I never even noticed the shoes because everyone has that swimmer eau-de-chlorine! I cooked all the food myself over the last few days so it truly was a home-cooked meal for the gang!
Oh my word Cathy...had I have known you were going to have this many peeps over I would have put on my best apron and come to help!
Wishing you a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Love,
LuLu~*xoxo
You are an amazing woman, Cathy!! Whew! I'm tired just reading about that 'little' gathering! My favorite word was "priceless." Love is the great energizer, isn't it? blessings to you ~ tanna
Congratulations = now sit back with a beverage-of-your-choice, you earned it! (you counted the meatballs, really?)
Oh my - quite the affair!! Ah yes, the eau-de-chlorine - remember it well!! At the nail salon on Saturday I sat next to the girls from our high school swim team that had just come back from states - they still had their medals around their necks - so cute!!
I'm literally tired after reading that. Oh my gosh! Just - oh my gosh!
And I love your ring, by the way. It's my idea of great jewelry.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family, Cathy!
Woman of the year, right here! :) Yes you are.
Wow-nicely done! I bet they really appreciated such a special meal.
Seriously? Even the bread was homemade?! I don't know if you are a saint or just crazy - maybe a crazy saint? :)
I bet it was super fun though. Growing up in Phoenix, every kid I knew smelled like chlorine all summer, good times.
Oh, that sounds marvelous!!! A house full of big boys, love and laughter!!! I know your sons are so proud to have you for a mom - you have obviously always been the home all the kids wanted to hang out at. I'm hoping when we're done with our project, that we have a little bit of that, too!
Happy Thanksgiving, Cathy!

You, are a warrior! So glad you survived and your heart is full. :)
You said it so perfectly ... entertaining is such fun but sooooo exhausting! It's really amazing how tired you can get from entertaining ... I've been there many times! The snacks sound delish, though! xoxo

Nothing like a little pre-Thanksgiving preparation... you must be Super Woman!

I am with the hound - just reading about it makes me feel tired out. Well done you.
I shouldn't be any other way! Thanks for the future blueprint :) XOXO, Kelly
Sounds like the perfect Thanksgiving! :)
