The First and Last Thanksgiving

Embracing the Generations in Our Razzle Dazzle Family

It was just to be a quiet weekend on the Bay! Yes, just a small intimate Thanksgiving dinner with family and a few friends. Yeah, Right!!! The tidal wave of insanity that blew in turned our peaceful holiday setting into a geriatric celebration filled with humor and mishaps. Our last minute guests, while nearing the sunset of their lives, managed to create the most outrageous, memorable, Razzle-Dazzle Thanksgiving for all of us. In this true story of embracing generations and holiday pandemonium you will laugh, you may shed a tear, but you are guaranteed to be entertained by the antics of the “Gang of Five.” As you follow their twilight years and the trials and tribulations of their concluding adventures, our special guests will leave a lasting impression on you, as they did on all of us.
