What a Full Tummy






















Hope all of you had a Great Thanksgiving Day(so original). Ours started out with being at church early to prepare breakfast for about 75+ folks. It was the usual fare; cheese scrambled eggs, tater tots, sausage patties, biscuit, juice and muffins. It seemed to taste a little better this year for some reason.(I think because we had no long winded speaker, John) Anyhow we were out of there after clean up by 9:20 at the latest.

Nancy and I spent the rest of the day chillin'(that means she made dishes and I watched football and read) until it was time to pick up The Ross's around 1:30 and head for son, Bob's place in Riverview. We got there around 2:30 and had a delightful time. Later G/G and Pap along with the GAB and Braden came as well. Ava was so excited about seeing Annsley that she woke her up from her nap. Eventually Jill's family arrived and the eating began.Here was the fare; of course roast turkey with a gourmet filling(Bob's creation), baked yams and dry stuffing(G/G recipe), spinach casserole, pumpkin pie,(Nancy's fixin's), frozen cranberry salad(Amy's doing's), pumpkin pie (GAB doing's), smashedspuds, apple pie, green bean casserole(Brian and Susan's doin's).
We were naturally stuffed and our belly's were pooched. YUMMM what great eating and fun time we had watching the girls play. Before you knew it the day had slipped away and it was around 9 PM or after when we finally headed out. What a magnificent day especially with the coolness in the air and the bright sunshine.


We slept in this morning until 8 Am when the phone rang. Dad(Paw Paw) called to talk. We didn't tell him we were still under the covers but had a delightful conversation about their day yesterday and all the plans for today. It sounded like they(he and Adeline) had a fun, filling day as well.
Well Nancy and I are truly blessed and are so thankfull to the LORD for such a great family, kids and grand kids. Here are a few pics. LATER!!
