It was 72(F) degrees in Texas when I woke up this morning. We may
have Thanksgiving dinner on the patio.

Happy Thanksgiving. To our Canadian friends, a belated happy
Thanksgiving. To everyone else, happy Thursday.

A happy Turkey day to you Jack, enjoy all that is placed in front of you,
watch out for the things creeping under the table, and see you in AFB.

Yes, it is a beautiful day here. :-)
If my work ethic was not so strict, I'd call in sick and go fishing!
I did spend some time outdoors this morning playing with the dogs...

We are doing Thanksgiving feast on Saturday since me and my brother in
law both have to work... <sigh>

Have a wunderful day y'all!

I thought of you, Jack. (laughing)

First of all, I had a fun holiday. Started when my sil called, do
you think you'd like to come over for Thanksgiving? Sure (how do
you turn down an invitation like that?) What can I bring? Hmmm,
how about a green salad and dessert. No problem. Oh, I got an apple
pie, so don't bring that. Okay.

She has a large roudy extended family, I had no idea how many people
were supposed to show up, it's usually pretty disorganised with them.
Not saying anything, they're all so fun. And loud. It's great, you
gotta love Italian families.

So, believe it or not, I start angsting over the green salad. Now,
how simple is this? A green salad. I have to make everything
difficult. Okay, I'll get three types of lettuce, put it in a foil
roaster, I'll throw in some carrot sticks. Then, I'll drag out my
Tupperware thing that has the 6 compartments with one in the middle
for dip, supposedly? Got black olives, green olives, sliced up a
cucumber, couple of cans of mandarin oranges. These are to top the
salad. Pick what you like.

Get to the big shindig, Ron made 2 pumpkin pies and the Gingerbread
Layer Cake with Candied Kumquats. (he made it with apricots, it was
EXCELLENT, but a lot of work, people were raving) From this month's
Bon Appetit. Get there, there are FIVE pumpkin pies. Did I mention my
sil is a little ... disorganized? (laughing) Then her father walks
in, hey! you have the same container I do! It's the Tupperware thing,
and his is full of olives etc.

Okay, I hope you didn't invite any other people with salad fixings.
Or ... PUMPKIN PIES.

Anyway, much bedlam insued, just the usual thing. I went into the
livingroom with a glass of wine, what do my wondering eyes should
appear? (this is where you come in, Jack) Three of the world's
lumpiest couches you have seen in your life. Missing cushions, some
had pillows replacing them. You'd know why if you saw the way the
kids thought they were trampolines.

All in all, it was a lot of fun, though I had to keep escaping the
bedlam to the lumpy couches.

HAHAHAHA!! That's a funny recount of a great time. I was half expecting
you to say that with all the pumpkin pies and salad stuff, they'd forgotten
the turkey!

The 27th was just another work day here in Honduras, although the
restaurants in Tegucigalpa and San Pedro Sula do elaborate US style
Thanksgiving dinners. We're doing Turkey Day on Sunday - I have an 11
1/2 pound Butterball (the only turkey available here), three cans of
Ocean Spray, and two boxes of stove top stuffing - yeah I know, home
made is better but I cant't get sage or thyme where I am - so the only
way for me to even approximate T-Day dinner is with the boxed stuff.
I'll fancy it up with some raisins, apples, and nuts. I did find
pecans last month so we'll have pecan pie. I'll have to substitute
camotes for yams but that's ok.

First of all, I whispered (does anyone smell turkey?) so you aren't
far off.

But back to the couches, I'm picturing my family noticing I'd started
laughing to myself, finding a place on the ... couches, saying, there
goes that crazy nancy again, laughing at nothing in the corner,
again! and me thinking of you saying about the lumpy couches.

Sounds familiar, trust me. My fam doesn't quite know what to do about me.
