Lots of wonderful
November 25th, 2011 10:35 pmThanksgiving Day and Black Friday and been filled with all kinds of wonderful - from good food to family and friends, thoughtful birthday gifts (they started early and who am I to complain) to laugh too numerous to count - we have been truly blessed by our good fortune.
Art and Kathleen are here in their RV. Let me know tell you this secret, if you are going to have long-term house guests, the best way to do it is to have them come in an RV. We spend all day having a good time and when it's time to go to bed, they go to their "little house" and we go to our bedroom. It rocks!

dreamtigress is here (and by here, I mean in VA, staying with njzoomom) so we got to see her yesterday and today but she goes home tomorrow.
Mike N-with-no-LJ came in Wednesday night but had to leave this morning. It was his first journey to the country home and we're both very glad he came to spend turkey day with us.
Thanks tonjzoomom for baking ALL of the pies, her yummy sweet potatoes and making the turkey gravy for me.
The dinner menu this year was: Turkey, tofurkey, turkey gravy, vegetarian gravy, baked sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes (redskins, mashed with the skins on, of course), creamed spinach from scratch, homemade cranberry-apple sauce (compliments ofdreamtigress), daecabhir's super-yummy rolls (not to be confused with biscuits), and mostly homemade stuffing (with homemade bread). For eight people, we had six pies; two apple (one normal, one without cinnamon), two pumpkin (one with sugar and one with splenda) and two coconut custard (one with sugar and one with splenda). And whipped cream. Lots of it.
Speaking of whipped cream, tonight, when Art dropped a dollop of whipped cream on his chest, Kathleen and I did the only thing we thought proper... lick it off!
We did have one unusual guest drop by on Thanksgiving ... Joe, the fencing contractor, dropped my new kiln off. It looks to be in great shape and I am so excited!
