Happy Thanksgiving!

November 28, 1940. (It was celebrated on two different dates that year, as well as 1939 and 1941. The New England states observed the traditional fourth Thursday in November) ."Pumpkin pies and Thanksgiving dinner at the home of Mr. Timothy Levy Crouch, a Rogerene Quaker living in Ledyard, Connecticut."

It's a great shot isn't it Norma! If you read the comments at Shorpy a lot of folks there dug the wallpaper as well. Me, I'm eyeing that fruitcake!
