Thanksgiving 2005
The men decided to give the women the day off (sort of).
As soon as it was agreed that the men would be in charge, we immediately decided to go to Magleby's for their Thanksgiving buffet. Our dining party included my parents, sister Mindy and kids Molly and Gabe, sister Emily and Mark and kids Rachel and Lizzie, Rob and wife Rachel and new baby Hyrum, Cindy, Jed, Kelly, David, and Caroline, Cindy's brother Greg and wife Gerry and kids Casey, Davis, and Gage.
Unique items: there was French toast, and fish (after all, it is "Magleby's Grill and Oyster Bar"). The sweet potatoes were like dessert (like apple pie). The turkey and roast beef were both moist and tasty. The gravy and cranberry sauce were first class. Compliments to Doc. (And no dishes to clean up!)
We came home and had bludge time ("bludge"= to be lazy, idle, inactive; evade work or responsibilities) (football and movies on the jerry-rigged big screen TV [the office's computer projector which would otherwise be idle...]). Lots of snacks: bread chips and hummus, taco chips and salsa, doritos, spinach dip, and rounds of soda. Afterwards, pie (apple, chocolate cream, banana cream, peach, pecan, buttermilk, and, of course, pumpkin).
Before we did the rounds of "what I'm thankful for", Nanny & Bapa, Rachel, Mindy, and I sat in the living room with our Apple laptops (4 PowerBooks and 1 iBook) and got each other up and running on iChat. I also activated some widgets on Mindy's new machine, and put Widget TV on Rachel's. Rachel, Nanny, and I exchanged a few songs. We sang the traditional "Love at Home" and wound down to bedtime.
Wonderful restful day. I'm thankful for family and the abundant blessings in our lives.
