Thanksgiving and holiday gatherings across families in Titonka and area
A survey of Thanksgiving visits and holiday events across local households. Edits note meals at the Veermids in Des Moines and gatherings at the Stev en, Krominga, Ringsdorf, Fitch, and Phelps homes. Several anniversaries and a 40th wedding celebration are described, along with church and club activities and a bake event for Burt Rest Homes. The piece closes with a humorous line about seeking attention by making mistakes.
