What is everyone doing? I am making a (you guessed it) a turkey dinner, with two guests coming, so four of us total....mmmmmm left overs!!! LOL
I love having friends and family over and I am grateful that a couple could come, otherwise it would have been just two of us.... ;D
What is everyone doing? How many guests, what are you doing with the day? etc.
Happy Thanksgiving to all of you!!!
I'm working....
But on Black Friday, my mom is coming over to cook cornish game hens, mashed potatoes and pumpkin pie. Actually, I'm cheating. I'm buying premade pie. I'm just not motivated to cook for a total of three people. Mom, Dad, and me. The plan is to have it ready when Dad gets off work.
Going to my parents' house tomorrow after my classes are over. Helping mom cook on Wednesday. (Pies and stuffing--it has to cook overnight) On Thursday we watch the parade, then the first football game. 2 of my friends from school are coming to have dinner with us because they can't get home for the holiday. An early dinner (lunch really), then we are going to my aunt's ranch in Boulder for dessert, and if the weather is nice we might ride her horses. Back home in time for the Broncos game. And leftovers. :)
On Thanksgiving Day, the Baroness and I will journey to the Big City, AKA Littleton, where we will join her parents, her brother, her three sisters, two nieces, five nephews, assorted in-laws, boyfriends, girlfriends, and who knows who else for the annual Thanksgiving Gaggle. Following which, her Ladyship and I will spend ten days recuperating in the Caribbean aboard the MS Dream.
We wish each of you a wondrously joyous holiday.
Spending it at my moms :(
Why the sad face? Mom used to be a great cook... then she went on a diet... now all of her food is as bland as plain Tofu and it makes Toki and I sick. Besides she is a smoker and you smell like an ash tray when you leave her place. Ham and baked chicken and who knows what else
Hum makes me want to stay home and have a Nice Juice half cooked still mooeing Steak with a baked potato smothered in sour creame, bacon bits, shrimp, corn, a fresh salad and a glass of Raspberry and Chocolate Velvet Mead and a chunck of Dark Chocolate. Now THAT sounds like a meal to me
BTW I don't like Dry buzzard aka TURKEY
What we do to be with family
Well i will be getting up bright and early to run out the door. My first stop will be a wolf sanctuary just west of divide. They have a turkey toss which is people tossing quartered turkeys to the wolfs for thanksgiving. I will be getting pics like normal.
When i am done enjoying the company of the wolfs, coyotes, and foxes its off to my cousins in peablo to have turkey day with cousins.
Then on friday going to try and go to another sanctuary to the east of colorado springs and possibly another sanctuary on saturday up north.
Seems like i get along with the wolfs better then people. Hmm maybe i should stop sniffing peoples butts that might be it.
Hum me thinks Sir Garaths animal totem is the wolf. or maybe you were a wolf in another life.
god i hope so, maybe i was a shaman in a pastlife. Of coure i think more would say i'm coyote the trickster.

Good full Thanksgiving dinner with immediate family later in the afternoon. Helped clean up and then had my favorite dessert - Apple pie!
Hope you all had a bountiful Thanksgiving!
I had a wonderful Thanksgiving with a friend and her family, full of food and games and even a brief hike!
And I'm STILL trying to finish my Christmas decorating ... that's the goal for this weekend. =)
Thankyou Baron! Give the Baroness a big hug for me!
I hope that every one had a great day stress free too!

It takes my mom 3 days to decorate our house! It's insane. I'm glad that the only things I have up at my apartment are my tree (which sets itself up!), some lights and a few little things. I can decorate my apartment in about an hour haha.
Thanksgiving was a nice day for me...after having a wonderful dinner with family and my two best friends, we went to Boulder to visit my aunt. The weather was nice so we got to ride her horses, Bear and Shiloh. The evening ended on a scary note when Shiloh bucked off my aunt's boyfriend and almost broke his nose, but he was okay. Afterward my friends and I raided Michael's for the awesome pre-black Friday deals, got some stuff for wreaths. Then we adjourned to my basement, watched movies and played Taboo (my fave) and passed out somewhere around 3 in the morning, which was when my parents were leaving to go to Buckley to get a new TV. Hah! It was a fun time.
Hey look, a picture of me not in garb...and on a horse...

Awe...I love horses, wish I could have gone ridding!! :-) Was absolutely gorgous here that day!! The dinner turned out great, I mean perfect, you would think I was a chef or something!! LOL I started decorating the house for xmas the weekend after Halloween, I just finished yesterday. I think you all might go into shock if you saw my home....it looks like Christmas threw up in my house!! ;)
And.....I am on the hunt for more to add to it!! ;D
Zoe- ever put a bridal on a hamster?
I remember having gone to your aunt's one year to visit Bear and Shiloh. We had fun and suffered no bucking.

We'll have to check at Petsmart. Nice photo btw. :)
Carpathian did you make it to the wolf sanctuary? I didn't see anyone that looks like your pic i was there and had such a wonderful time. I love that place maybe i should volunteer this summer and help them. If any go the full moon tours are wonderful but think the one this weekend is the last for the season not sure also the VIP tour is worth the money if you love wolfs.
Well guess i need to stop being a spokesperson for them hehehe.
"It takes my mom 3 days to decorate our house!"
Before I retired, my seasonal office decoration consisted of an 8" high "tree" upon which I had hung a single round of 5.56 ammunition. When that rare client brave enough to ask what this decoration signified, I would adopt a look of astonishment and accuse him of taking me in jest, for surely he recognized the reference! When he continued to proclaim ignorance, I would chide: Surely my good man, you recognize a cartridge in a bare tree!
I guess you had to be there.

No I was not able to, between the cooking and everyone coming over early, I didn't have enough time to drive out there have a blast watching the wolves and drive back. A weeee bit of a commute. HOWEVER...I will definately be getting over there on a more regular basis and will be there next year for the turkey toss, will plan that more in the morning. Do they do it through out the day or is it only at a set time?

Hope The Professor sees that, it'll make his day!
I'm glad that you all got a bit of a chuckle from my attempt at yultide humor.
The Baroness and I wish each of you a most wondrous holiday season.
