Clark Gable, Oglebay lights & Mountaineer football

Paula and I made Thanksgiving weekend a mix of various pleasures:

Thanksgiving dinner at our Tallmadge home for 17 people, from both sides of our families.

Friday at Oglebay Park in Wheeling, with the Festival of Lights, and a stop in Cadiz to visit the Clark Gable birth home and re-enact the "Gone With the Wind" poster (I was Rhett to Paula's Scarlett).

Saturday in Mountaineer Field, where West Virginia, a 21.5-point favorite, lost 24-19 to South Florida for the Mountaineers' second loss of the season. I will return to the scene of the crime this Saturday with my Aurora grandson, Dylan, for the Rutgers game.
