We had a nice Thanksgiving. The weather warmed up and it was 58 degrees at noon. true, it was raining, but it was warm. We both sort of piddled around in the house - I cleaned the coat closet and did the normal household stuff before retiring to the couch for a good read-fest, and WS sat and watched several hours of the NYPD Blue marathon before heading out into the woods to clean up the trails.
After pet-sitting duties, we headed over to Harry and Heather's for a huge turkey day dinner. She had gotten a 29 pound turkey (she had gotten it free in a local grocery store promotion), for 4 adults and 2 children. There was no fear that anyone would go hungry anyway!
We headed home about 8:30 - in the snow. The snow was wet, so didn't stick, but when I got up this morning for more pet-sitting, we had a dusting of snow on the ground. It was also 23 degrees - not the largest drop for an 18 hour period we have ever had, but not exactly what I wanted to face this morning. After a day of t-shirt weather, it was back to long underwear!
Hope everyone had as pleasant and uneventfull holiday as we did!
We had a wonderful time at Wichi Dude's and Dudette's wrestling with them, Crazy Kid, and Chew for the food (you can imagine that it was NOT in short supply!) Dudette did her standard bang-up job of producing the whole show, making it look as though it were all accomplished by wiggling her nose (how does she doe that? Accomplish--not wiggle her nose!) For the last few minutes before the food was actually set on the table, WD and I hid in the dining room to keep out of the line of fire while Hunky Husband carved on the turkey. I was still stuffed this morning.
CK was a little surprised by the pretty rock. She wasn't quite sure why she got it, at first. (Just see if we give HER any more pretty rocks--LOL!)

I'll just start sending her coal for Christmas, then she can't complain about pretty rocks!
