Thanksgiving day festivities

Another year..another wonderful thanksgiving!

The Thanksgiving meal was awesome! As usual, there were so many delicious treats and hors d’oeuvres before, as well a fantastic soup, that by the time the main meal came, I had to take small portions, probably just as well…I still had to waddle back to the couch for football.  After a while, we had desert and played games. The deserts were incomparable, as always, but my favorite was a 3 layers chocolate pie and a tiramisu cheesecake. Qué rico postres!!!

For many years we’ve gone to Tracy’s Mom & Dad’s house on Wednesday afternoon and stayed until Saturday night or Sunday morning. That was back when we had less animals at home, the kids were babies, her sisters still lived at home and often, others stayed as well. We’re all older now, with responsibilities elsewhere, so the nomadic life is less spontaneous. This year we made the trip on Thursday morning and left on Friday, after lunch. A shorter visit, but still, great to see everybody and enjoy a fabulous meal!
