Time for the Brazilians to Go Home
December 1, 2025
That is a Frame family saying and harks back to a time long ago when the two Piedmont Frame families (two sets of parents and eight kids) hosted a steady stream of family visitors from Brazil (where Jim’s mom and aunt were from). There would come a point in a visit when the kids were done with family, done with Portuguese, done with having to be on best behavior.. and would implore their parents to clear the house of Brazilians.
Jim and I use that phrase a lot .. like at the end of a marathon holiday gathering (for example). It’s great to have family around; it’s great when they all go home.

And then Jim got to making turkey/ham soup.
And with that, Thanksgiving 2025 is a wrap.
