Thanksgiving

The Thanksgiving holiday has been great. Had dinner with some good friends. I remain ever thankful for abundance of food and friendship in our lives.Jack made absolutely delicious pumpkin soup and pumpkin pie from actual pumpkins (Cinderella type, I believe) as well as mashed potatoes. Mary prepared stuffing and green beans, I made roasted Brussels sprouts (the crowd was divided about those), cranberry sauce, apple pie and rolls (OK, the rolls were store bought) and Craig prepared a couple of juicy bone-in turkey breasts with gravy.

For a little fun, Mary made this very creative recycled headband, she had a bet with Jack to see how long it would take the rest of us to notice that the original source of this lovely item was a pair of Jack's underwear! Classic "penny pincher"!


Jack makes friends with Tex and is trying to educate him on the finer aspects of Storage (according to Martha Stewart).
