After Thanksgiving Ennis "didn't try to see his girls for a long time, figuring they would look him up when they got the sense and years to move out from Alma."  [story]

After gobbling up the turkey, Alma sure had a mouthful for Ennis.

The "love" in Alma's handwritten note on that fishing line went unread and unreciprocated all these years.

The principal ingredients in the Monroes' Thanksgiving dinner were a recipe for disaster.

"J" is jauntiness

Alma had noticed Ennis's jauntiness after his "fishing" trips with Jack.

jaunty = showing an easy confidence; sprightly or perky

"K" is knifing

While Monroe was electrically knifing the bird, Alma had a bird, as she was realizing that Ennis and Mr. Nasty were birds of a feather.

There is a sliced loaf of bread to Alma's right as she cleans up the kitchen.

"N" is Newsomes

The Newsomes, were particularly rude guests at Thanksgiving:  Fayette was silent and pinched, and L.D. was a boor.

On Thanksgiving, Alma Monroe finally expressed her strong opposition to Ennis and his nasty unproductive fishing trips all over Wyoming.
