I hope that everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving.  I was sad to be away from my momma, but I had some friends over for dinner and we had a very enjoyable time.  This was only the second year I tried to make gravy.  Oh the stress of gravy!

Check it out Ma!  Can’t say I didn’t try.  I think I put a bit too much cornstarch in it, but Chucklebutt gobbled it up and wouldn’t let me throw away the leftovers.  I guess that’s a good sign.  Truth be told, the bird was sooooo moist and tender that it didn’t need anything.

Once our friends arrived, the girls proceeded to be antisocial for the entire afternoon.  Even chubby Daisy managed to squeeze herself under the bed.  Once everyone left, they decided to grace us with their presence.  Boy was I pooped.  Turkey, Stuffing, Oyster Casserole, Homemade Cranberry Sauce, Sweet Potato Casserole and Green Beans.  Yum-EEE!  My friend Lori brought the pies.  Double yum-eeee!!  I think the left overs might be calling right now.  😀

How did we end our day?  By watching this really disturbing movie.  If you haven’t seen it — you must!  It is very educational and pretty frightening.  I can’t decide if I am glad I didn’t see it before dinner or not — genetically modified turkey anyone?

Happy Thanksgiving!  We miss you Momma!  (And all our other friends who are so far away — you know who you are!)
