Thanksgiving Moments

The surprise Thanksgiving Eve appearance by Jeremy's friend Len who lived next door to us for twenty years. Len always walked in to our house unannounced and went directly to our fridge to grab a snack. He had to ring the doorbell this time because our door was locked, but he did go directly to the fridge once he came inside. I still consider him my third son.
