Thanksgiving

Happy day after Thanksgiving!! We had a great dinner and dessert!! I make a pineapple filled coconut cake from scratch. It was nice to be able to bake again in a big kitchen. It was delicious but we were all stuffed so didn't make a very big dent in the cake. I may freeze some of it for later. We are having leftovers today and then going to the tree lighting on the square in Georgetown. They will be having some music/singing before the tree lighting.




Barb and Tom had rv friends join us. They are traveling part way back to Pheonix with them this weekend then going their separate ways. These people have some land in Redmond, OR, and have a rv hook up and barn so they spend summer there and then travel the rest of the time. It was nice to have company for our first Thanksgiving in the new house.

The dogs enjoyed laying on the patio with some of the people. It was a very pleasant day in the 70's and some clouds to keep the sun away. We went for a long walk after dinner and it did sprinkle a little. This morning we actually had a rain shower so we had some puddles for the birds to take a bath!! We haven't actually had much rain here all summer so it was nice to see rain coming out of the downspouts.

Barb and Terry during the cooking, cleaning and setting the table process. We had lots of help and Tom and Lee actually did the clean up washing and drying!!



Barb and I looked a little perplexed in this photo, but we had things under control. This was the gravy making chore. It was fabulous!!
For all you who love the broccoli casserole!! This was before it was baked. I don't think it was as good as in years past, but it was okay.


Hope you all have a wonderful holiday and Christmas coming up. Wendy is coming on Tuesday for 13 days. She is very busy so won't be able to stay thru the holiday, but at least she's coming.


See you all down the road.


Sandy and Terry
