Friday Morning
Well Thanksgiving Day saw us in Brandon(near Tampa) around 2'ish for a huge dinner at Bobby and Katie's house. Most of her immediate family attended as well as did his. While he prepared a huge turkey with the gravy all of us brought dishes most of which were old family recipes past down through the ages and I must say all were exceptional in taste and abundance. The desserts filled a whole table and were all homemade as well.
I started the day much the usual with a 6'ish roll out. Nancy got up shortly after I started my routines as she was baking two apple pies along with a spinach dish to take with us to Bobby's. I spent some quiet moments with my Creator in humble thanksgiving lifting up several especially Paw Paw whom we spoke with briefly. We are still awaiting test results on his hip pain and what the next step is in his rehab. Hopefully he will get stronger and be able to have some quality of health in the near future as this has been going on since summer.
After our morning routines we got busy on last minute house prep for our overnighters from Miami. Arianne and Errol will be staying with us while Erica and family (9 kids) will be staying with GG for at least two nights. We will have them all here plus the Ross's, Bobby and Katie and Nancy's sister Betsy's family here on Friday(this evening) I think a total of 27 folks here to eat and maneuver around with walking on a kid, oh well this should be an experience. (I sure hope we have plenty of vino).
We are preparing two turkeys, a ham plus tons of dishes and stuffing both dry and wet and the desserts will fill a whole table. I must say I passed on all the desserts yesterday and it wasn't as difficult as I anticipated however I do love pecan pie. There was a couple of dishes yesterday that really was like a dessert the sweet tater casserole was almost like a dessert and the lime jello salad was very sweet as well so I din't miss the apple, pumpkin, pecan and chocolate pies that adorned one whole table.
We left there around 7'ish and headed to GG's where we got there before they had eaten so we helped them get that on the table and I even washed dishes. They had several pies, cakes and desserts laid out as these kids can really eat. It was going on 10'ish when we left for home and it was a shower time for me and then some horizontal lab, LATER
