After spending two days cleaning my seed-scattered house and baking\/cooking up a storm, Bill and his family and David and his family arrived to help us enjoy the day and feast on all the goodies. As my oven had turned off, unbeknownst to me, for an hour, I thought the turkey would be an hour late. But, luckily, after the problem was fixed, the turkey finished up right on time! Hooray! We all stuffed ourselves on turkey (of course), stuffing, green bean casserole, sweet corn, dinner rolls, and lots of scattered goodies \u2014 pickles, watermelon rind pickles, cranberry sauce, etc. Granddaughter, Delilah, made us all laugh when she discovered she loved cranberry sauce and set her spoon down, grabbed double handfuls of cranberry sauce, and stuffed it into her mouth, again and again. Luckily, as always, I had lots!<\/p>\n

We all sat down to the table, groaning with food.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

After eating, grandson Mason, David, and Delilah settled in on the sofa to let the meal sink a bit before desserts, while Will, Bill, Kelly Jo, and Ava went down to visit the horses. After all, Ava always has to take Ladyhawk her treats and it was <\/em>Thanksgiving, after all. I had to laugh. As usual, David sank lower and lower on the couch, with Delilah on his lap, watching Mickey Mouse on his phone. Pretty soon, he was asleep. The turkey, you know\u2026<\/p>\n

After the family had left, Will turned the TV on while he filled the wood box. The National Dog Show was on and we had to laugh. Sarge sat and watched the show dogs do their stuff through three groups. He barked when he saw the terriers. I’m not sure what he thought. But, yes, the Bedlington Terrier did look like a lamb\u2026<\/p>\n

Sarge didn’t know what to think of the dog show. Hondo wasn’t impressed.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Yesterday, our friends Mike and Dara, came over to help package seeds. We’re always so glad to have them come by, not only for the help they provide but companionship of like-minded folk, as well. We also had a left-over Thanksgiving dinner to wrap up our evening. It’s always as good, the second time around! — Jackie<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
