Well the day started out with chilly temps for the first time this fall or winter as I had to wear a flannel shirt for the first trip outside of the morning. It was down into the lower 50's and it never quite reached 70 for the hottest part of the day. There was plenty of sunshine and the gentle breeze made for a great morning to work outside which is just what I did; working in the gardens and taking a nice long bike ride before calling it a day outside around lunch time. It was a day of gastronomic delights as Nancy put a huge turkey in the cooker around 1'ish, but earlier on my bike ride I could smell the many delicious aromas through out my ride.
I had started the day with my usual before 6 roll out to my routines that start with some quiet times to honor my LORD, give thanks for another day and to lift up several by name for comfort and healing. All seem to be holding as of this post. I piddled around outside after having an apple for breakfast as I knew I would be eating large later on in the evening. I moved up some more seedlings into 6 packs as well as hand watered the gardens and doing some hoeing as well. All seem to be doing well. It was chilly to start but as the morning progressed I took off the flannel and took a bike ride through the hood for a couple of miles before coming back and finishing up the last leftover burger for lunch.
I tuned into some NFL games through out the day as well as some college basketball after the Ross's came by. Ava is into basketball and she will be attending on Saturday the tournament game in Ft.Myers with her team mates that we watched on TV. She will miss another turkey day at Bobby's that we all will attend and do it all over again. We had a delicious supper of: roast turkey which was cooked perfectly and oh so tender, smashed taters and tons of gravy, candied sweet taters, dried stuffing, broccoli and corn as well as rolls and 2 types of pies. I stayed away from the dinner rolls and pies and did only one helping of the rest as I need to eat less and lose a couple of pounds an inches off this gut. I did do a glass of Pinot with Tyler before eating.
After the clean up which I washed pots and pans for nearly an hour we settled into a game of "catch phrases" which was a hoot and it was gals vs guys as we sat around in the living room playing. We had the windows and doors open through out the day and evening but Nancy suddenly got a hot flash so on went the A/C for the rest of the evening and night. They all left after the last game which the gals pulled out in the end around 8:30 or so. We packed up left overs for everyone plus three dinner plates of food for Betsy's boys and a room mate. We still have enough leftover for another supper which we will likely do this evening, LATER
