Thanksgiving Day
The weather was beautiful, cool and sunny.
We counted our blessings, gave thanks, blessed the food, and ate too much. When we arrived, Scott and Kim's home was full of the wonderful aromas of all of the favorite Thanksgiving foods, and more were added as each cook brought food to overload the table. We enjoyed all of the traditional Thanksgiving staples, turkey, dressing, gravy, broccoli, sweet potatoes, green beans, cranberry sauce, rolls and more---then, oh the wonderful desserts! Fried pies, chocolate pie with meringue, coconut pie, pumpkin roll, Italian cream cake, and Laura made a chocolate/caramel layered ice cream dessert. Thank goodness I could leave any extra desserts with Kim, and their children can eat them instead of me or Wayne feeling the obligation of not wasting such delicious food.
We filled our plates then ate our fill--and ate some more!
Then the younger cooks cleaned up and put away the left-overs, which was another well appreciated gift of having dinner 'across the road' with Scott and Kim, their children, and Kim's family.
Then the men went into the living room, turned on the football game of choice, and promptly took a nap. It was a perfect way to finish a fantastic meal.
Scott had to check chickens, then he saddled the horse for Kaylee to ride. It was an all around good day... I did miss the rest of our family...even though I know they had good Thanksgiving celebrations just as we did. Larry & Jackie, Hunter and Caitlin celebrated with the Woodliffs in Rockwall this year, and Denise and Duane went to Dimebox to celebrate with the Kerstens.
