The Thanksgiving gorge fest has just ended and I think I participated in the correct spirit. This year we stayed at home and shared lunch with some friends who also are without an extended family in this area. All of the traditional foods were consumed - turkey, ham, potatoes, beans (green), sweet potato casserole, stuffing and other stuff I cannot remember. Pretty much everything had lots of butter in it, so it tasted great! A new dessert highlight was the pumpkin cheese cake that Mindy made - top notch. Much beer and wine was also consumed making for a great day. The football was horrible, fortunately the cricket came on at 7:00pm!
The rest of the long weekend involved "watching the kids" with Gary while Mindy and Holly went shopping on Friday. And by "watching the kids", I really mean sitting in front of the College football, drinking beer. Saturday involved more football (and beer) with Gary (Gators v Seminoles). Sunday was largely spent relaxing at home, although we did attend a friend's child's birthday party for a couple of hours. Now back to work for 2 1/2 weeks, before our Florida trip.
