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!!!
