It was a great Thanksgiving! There were seven people and me and everything came together and everyone seemed to have a very good time. The turkey Wade cooked was moist and perfectly cooked. Everyone raved over his cranberry sauce and gravy. My dressing turned out well.
Thanks to Joel and Keith for a beautiful lemon cake, Barbara made a delicious sweet potato soufflé, Wayne brought a huge broccoli salad and Tom and Kurt furnished the wine. This is a fun group of people and there was much story telling, laughing, and discussion.
Everyone pitched in on the cleanup and everyone was gone by 7:30.
I overdid it. Not only that, but in getting dishes out of the pie safe, I tripped over a lamp cord and hurt my back. By the time everyone left for the evening, I was Done in. I got out of bed around 5:30 am but went back to bed after a cup of coffee. Then I slept again until 11:30. I’m still dragging.
I suspect tomorrow Wade will want to go early to Sawgrass Mills to the Ralph Lauren store. It’s kinda tradition for him and he sometimes loads up with clothes suitable to San Francisco’s cold weather. I’m sure we’ll go back to Rosies for more BLT’s.
The weather was perfect last night. It’s a good thing we did Thanksgiving out on the patio. Today, rain is forecast and it would have been a mess with everyone in the house. The gods of fortune looked down on us.
I plan to cool it today. I need to recover some strength and not try to do too much. Hopefully everyone had as good a Turkey Day and we did.
Stay tuned!
