Thanksgiving

We have so many pictures that we decided to put up a slide show...if you click on it a new window will open up for a better picture....

Everything went well on Thanksgiving, Linda and I hosted the dinner for the family and friends. We deep fried the Turkey and baked a couple of extra legs and thighs so we would have extra dark meat and the juices for the gravy.
Everyone showed up while the turkey was cooking so we ended up on the back patio visiting and watching the pot. Everyone knows that a watched pot doesn't boil so that ensured us that the fire extinguisher wasn't needed....

Dinner was fab-u-lous and all the side dishes everybody brought over were delicious!!! After dinner everyone relaxed and took a little snooze if needed.

We decided to dig out the Uno game and have some fun. Everybody remembered playing differently and by the time the "rules" were agreed upon it basically was a fun version of "crap on your neighbor" - a draw four blue, then a draw two, then a skip, then a reverse, then a skip and the original person who played the draw four has to draw 6! After a while we had to break out an additional deck and tried to guess who was holding the most cards. Thankfully the only way we kept score was 1 point if you were lucky enough to go out.

The next day, Linda and I relaxed and since the deep fryer was still set up, Linda fried up another turkey...Her first time and it was better than mine!! We took the meat off the bones and it is in the freezer for Christmas.

We hope that everyone had a great Thanksgiving as well and enjoyed the time spent with friends and family!! We love you all and wish you the best Holiday Season! May your shopping be pleasant, the parking close, your tree straight, and all your lights lit!!!

BSU Football

Well, here we are...finally went to a BSU football game!!! Sylvia, Thanks for the tickets, they were great!! Deby couldn't remember the last time she went to a game and Linda, Aislynn, and I have never been. We had to do the "touristy" thing and get our picture by the Bronco in front of the stadium. All the fans are to wear either blue or orange...it was also supposed to be "orange" day......normally the sections are seperated and the fans know where they are sitting on what color to wear. However, not that we are rebels, but orange is not our color. The only time Linda and I wear orange is during hunting season!! BSU (#10) played Utah St (#8), it was a big game and I heard the BCS standings and a bowl game were riding on it. What ever the reason, BSU kicked ass and final score was 49 - 14....and the team should be going to the sugar bowl!

Deby wanted us to get on the horse!____Hey, look up here!_____We still have room to spread out!

Of course, there's alway the self portrait____The band takes the field_____Here comes the players!!


The opening kick-off______Aislynn brought the "big" book for luck______It helped, score was 49 - 14

San Francisco - Linda's Trip

The week before Halloween, Linda went to San Francisco to visit her brother Tim and Boris. Her mom, Dee, met up with the family later on in the week. She was also able to take time to visit her long time friend Joni, do a little shopping and visiting her old stomping grounds....
