LUTZ - Most people are thankful to have their parents and children in the same house for Thanksgiving, but one local family has a five-generation Turkey Day tradition that started in the 1950s and is still going strong.
At the Lindsay family Thanksgiving dinner in Lutz, there are plenty of kids making plenty of excited noise. After all, family matriarch Elizabeth Lindsay has seven children, 19 grandchildren and, umm, how many great grandchildren? After 20, she says, pretty much quit counting.
"I started something, didn't I," she said. "Families a lot of times grow apart, and mine grew within."
Jennifer Pilkey, a fourth-generation member of the clan, wouldn't have it any other way.
"It's just great I still have my nanny here, my granny and my dads and all our kids," she said. "It's just awesome."
The celebration took on a special meaning for one of the "newer" members of the family, second generation sister Barbara Boully.
"I had a brother just come back from Iraq for the third time, and I'm thankful for that," she said.
Barbara's husband, Harold Boully, plays the role of family historian. He's passionate about deep family ties. Forty years ago, his family was featured in The Tampa Tribune and he still has the clippings.
"It's kind of rough getting five generations together at one time and they're scattered around," Harold Boully said. "To me, it's an honor to be in this family and they're a great bunch of people."
