Thanksgiving Tap Dance

Chronologically, this is quite a leap.  You'll just have to suffer, because it's totally worth it.  

Pat has been hanging on to the box of gold lame and tap shoes since 1987 when we all put on a show for the family.  The resulting photograph ended up on national TV the following year as Granny chatted up Chuck Woolery on the Scrabble game show. This was before I really understood that not everyone got together with their families at holidays and dressed in full costume to dance and sing.  

And for all the things in the world to be thankful for, my own children will get to have that same awkward realization at some point. 




Granny shared the stage with her newest back-up dancers as the rest of us mumbled through songs and snapped pictures.   

How happy this makes me.

If this video starts to look a little faded, it's because I've watched it 5,000 times - Pat
