Thanksgiving for us starts out with the infamous neighborhood walk. We live in a rural area so a walk around the block is 4 miles.... we all gather at Gina's house and head out by 9AM.
Sometimes people ride horses... one year people brought llamas... another year someone brought a pygmy goat. There are always dogs, dogs and more dogs!
It was a beautiful sunny day - we pass the Irish Cobb horse farm...
We pass by John and Nancy's house. John had a double hip replacement so he didn't join us but watched us all pass by with the
grand kids...
And we walk happily down the road... cars pass slowly gawking and I always wonder if they think it's some sort of protest movement. Save the turkey!
Here I am with my Ma and Little Toe.... I wore my BIG sunglasses. Furry Husband calls me
Chachi when I wear 'em. As in, "
Lookin' good there
Chachi!"
We cook our turkey on the grill and we mostly we sat outdoors chatting; enjoying the gorgeous day...
Oh - here all the 4 women... Mom, Me, Sister and Baby...
And finally it was turkey time!
Along with pie, pie and more pie.....
MMMMMMI hope you all had a very happy, yummy and wonderful Thanksgiving!!
