Riker "thanksgiving get together" at the Dearborn Inn

Almost everyone...It was about 3 years ago that it was suggested that we get together before the holidays for a brunch at the Dearborn Inn.  I look forward to this every year since with all our busy lives we don't get a chance to just get together in a large enough room to just talk and catch up.  We do need a large room since the addition of Will, Bella and Michael in the last year.  They are the latest to join the growing number of great grand children to the Riker clan.  We were lucky to have John and Dawn in town this week from California, along with Michelle who made the trip from the East coast.  Even with a little less than half the family still spread out across the states, we still needed a table for 30.  For those who were not able to join us you were certainly missed, but we quickly realized that with the help of Facebook, we still got to realize what has been going on in their lives.  We had a lovely time and really look forward to this annual Riker tradition.
