Well Thanksgiving Day was great as always since both son and daughter's family were able to be here in the evening along with Nancy's sister Betsy and the food was delicious to say the least and plenty of it as well, enough so we will have it again this evening or on Saturday. We played family games until nearly 9'ish before everyone left for home and I could help put the house back in order before hitting the shower.
I had started the day with my usual before 6 rollout to some quiet times to honor Jesus, lift up several by name for comfort and healing after giving thanks for another day, all are holding with this post. I headed out to check on the gardens and eventually worked outside until 1'ish when I came in and turned on the first of three football games. Nancy was busy in the kitchen with food prep and getting for the gang around 4'ish, when everyone came shortly thereafter.
The kiddos all played some kick ball in the back yard as we guys sipped a little fruit of the vine watching them play until it was time to eat. Then it was a meal to delight the taste buds to say the least which of course was a huge turkey and gravy, dried stuffing, smashed tatters, candid yams, green beans, mac and cheese, a Greek spinach dish and home made rolls and then three kinds of pie with ice cream, yikes did we ever spark up the fixin's this year and Ava made the home made rolls. There was some cheese and crackers first but I passed but did have some vino.
Everyone was having such a fine time afterwards playing bingo and then another game that was guys vs gals in a game much like charades, supposedly the gals won but that was debatable, anyhow it was a great time as the kids and kiddos are maturing and some of us getting older. Hopefully I will be round for next years celebration, LATER
