Let’s just take a closer look at the lead figurines hiding on the centerpiece of the table:
My grandmother and her two aunts, Nelle and Lola, went on vacation in New England in the 1930s, where they bought a set of three lead figurines: a pilgrim, wife and child. The Native American standing in front is a more recent addition to ensure equal leaden representation.
Before the meal, we were treated to Andy’s homespun rendition of The Turkey in the Straw on the violin.
