I'd love to show you the beautiful, moist, flavorful bird prepared by the Lord of the Manor...but, well, we ate the whole thing! This is our daughter and her extended family--that's me, bottom, front left, by the empty plate. :D Future generations will see all the pics I've taken over the years and wonder who....
Truth is--it was our second feast. Keith & I took a friend out to eat on Turkey Day, the day before. (I'm wondering if 2 Thanksgiving Dinners could be contributing to our advancing size?)
So, we drove home, stuffed and found a message waiting on the phone. Keith should show up for work the following morning! Never mind that the same guy had called on Tuesday nite to tell him they wouldn't go back to work until probably Monday! :( Don't get us wrong--we're big fans of time-and-a-half and double-time pay! But we were looking forward to several days off in a row!
Our son and his family have been gone since Wednesday--off to visit Grandma and Grandad in New Orleans. Which means that today they are out there on the highways, heading home with 40 million other people who have to be back at work tomorrow. We've always tried to avoid traveling on holiday weekends--a little aversion we picked up during our motorcycle touring days! Along with our aversion to riding in the late evening, dark and early mornings--to avoid head on collisions with deer!
So, I'm off to feed our granddaughter's chickens and a herd of 9 (NINE!) adorable puppies....
Later, I think I may pick up my needles and finish knitting the sock I've had on them for months! :)
