Wonderful family moments...cherish even the silliness...Everybody be happy and well....Sandi
Glad your team won, my dear, though I confess that I don't know a bronco from a flying pig:)
Your spilt giblets reminded me of how in my haste to satiate the starving souls around me waiting anxiously for the thermometer to pop out of the buttered balled turkey's humongous breast..(Hmmm is that an oxymoron?) grabbed the red hot candied sweet potato casserole from the oven in haste, dropped it unceremoniously on my soft heart of pine floors and watched in horror as the skin came off my hand and the candied sweets slid across the floor as gracefully as the ice skater's at Rockefeller Plaza in New York.
Yeah... It was fun not to cook this year!

That was a good game as opposed to the sleepfest that was the Arizona/Detroit game. I hope Jeff Garcia had a nice Thanksgiving dinner poor man.
The best thing about the holidays besides the sports and food, the memories of flying giblets and family.
Sounds like a lot of fun mixed with some sadness for your child who is away.

Go Broncos!
Hi Dorn, It sounds like you had a fun and interesting Thanksgiving, inspite of your son being away. I love the comments! Sounds alot like my family, I am always comparing us to The Griswalds from National Lampoon's Vacation.
I really enjoy reading your journal!

Sounds like a great day with lots of laughs and smiles!
Prayers said here for Gabe and other soldiers... and we were also happy as we are Giant fans and hate the Cowboys! Yay!
Be well,
Dawn
