Happy belated Thanksgiving to everyone. Sorry we haven't posted anything in several days. We have been busy, out of town, and without our computer.
We went to Bob's brother's house for Thanksgiving breakfast. This is a tradition. I think we have done it every year for the past 24 except for one or two when we ventured away from the family and were in Mexico. We would always call it..."The decaf and drygoods breakfast". That's because Sue would always buy these pretty but dry sweets from some bakery and serve us decaf coffee. Anyway, it is a family joke. In 2000, Sue decided to save one of the croissants. She brings it out every year. We can't believe it is still in one piece. Also, the year we went to Mexico was 1998. Since we weren't going to be at breakfast, we thought it was fitting to send a letter that could be read at the breakfast table. So every year since, we also have the reading of the letter. Jim and Sue's two girls alternate the reading each year. They are now 21 and 20. We continue to laugh over the letter and drygoods. Family traditions are fun!
After breakfast, we drove south about an one to have dinner with Sam's sister and family. There were 14 for dinner with an additional 13 that came over later. We were able to see a lot of Sam's sisters, nieces, nephews, and great nieces and nephews. Two of Sam's nieces were home from the military. This was a different Thanksgiving for us because we normally do all of the cooking.
It took forever for the turkey to cook, but as you can see, it looks very tasty. Of course, we had way too much food. A good time was had by all!
