RE: [VFB] How Was Your Thanksgiving?

[mark romero]

Glad you had such a grand holiday Jimmy. Our was real nice too. We went to 
the Riverside and had diner with a lot of friends.......fellow memebers of 
the CFTG, Joan Wulff and Ted Rogowski were there, bassist Russel George, and 
some bamboo fishing friends. They severed it buffett style like they always 
do, and it was great. Football games on the T.V.s (video) and Christmas 
carols in the background, (audio). Everyone over did it of course. I only 
had a small second helping and a big piece of blueberry Pie (with a LOT of 
real whip cream) for desert. "Only" was the key word, LOL. mark....

What a day!  All 6 of my kids, their spouses, 6 grandkids and two more on 
the way, yes, my middle son's wife is expecting again and so is my youngest 
daughter.  She found out Monday. It was a wonderful surprise, for she and 
Dale had been considering in-vitro.  It took them 4 years to have Kellen, 
and we celebrated his fifth birthday yesterday.  I think the good Lord was 
looking over them for sure. We also celebrated Chris my middle-son's 
birthday yesterday too.   Jody and I are looking forward to two "summer 
babies".

Anyway, it was a happy day for all, with the traditional turkey , 24 
pounds, cornbread dressing and Jody's litebread dressing, green beans, 
mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, tossed salad, broccoli-rice, etc. , etc., 
 tea, 5 kinds of wine, Pies - sweet tater, pecan, apple, Jody's special 
pumpkin pie and of course a big birthday cake for Chris and Kellen.

All are gone back to their homes now except, Chris, Cathie and little 
Catie, they'll be heading back to Houston this afternoon.

As you might imagine, it gets very QUIET around here once everyone leaves.  
Ahhhh, sweet quiet !

P.S. At dinner, I told everyone about Iain's post about our American 
Thanksgiving.  That got a huge laugh from all.
