Thanksgiving

I had a small breakfast this morning, saving my appetite for dinner at the Mansion. This is the first time Debbie and Josh had came and it was lots of fun having them there. Beside them there was Bev, Mik, Michelle, James, Mik's mother Margret, Mik's brother Jim and his family, Kim, Rome, Gage and Elle. The food was good and lots of it. The only problem was James beat me to the last piece of Pecan pie. As we were leaving I saw they had put more out and considered going back for a piece. One of these times Debbie is going to smile normally for me if I'm lucky.

James came home with me and we hung out at the Robinson's for a while, Diannne wasn't feeling well and we hope she gets over it quickly. When we left there James wanted to take a 4-wheeler ride to the pipeline and creek.

When we got back James wanted to try the Snow Board Dianne had gotten him last year for Christmas. We looked around for a hill with snow and finally settled on the field down at Eddie's.

James would ride down the hill and I would haul him back up with the 4 wheeler. It finally got kind of dark so we headed home. We made a run to BK only to discover it was closed along with just about everything else, we went back home and had Chicken Pot Pies. Michelle came up to pick up James and we had a nice visit. Vera is fighting a sore throat so she stayed home today, everyone missed her!

It was nice being with family today, I hope you got to be with yours.

I'm Full

Today, we met the family at Noon for dinner at the Mansion.
The view of SW Longview from the Mansion.

We were on the Sun Porch and it was real nice, there were walls on 3 sides of us so we were not bothered by other groups.

My girls, everyone was in a great mood today.

James and Gage, they were having a great time with the camera taking strange colored pictures.

Mik and Elle, I think she wore out his knee bouncing. The food was great and there was lots of variety. I had lots of turkey, dressing, mashed potatoes and gravy, I did put a few broccoli and cucumbers on my plate to make it legal. Talk about desserts, I had apple tart, pecan pie, pumpkin pie, chocolate cake and another piece of pie that was real good, but I don't know what it was. I missed some, but there was just no space left in the old tummy, I am still full 6 hours later. Probably no evening snack for me.

Hope you had a very Happy Thanksgiving!
