Now THIS is what holidays are supposed to be like ...

BabyGirl just pulled up ... me and Mrs. 1SBM were in the kitchen, getting a head start on the Turkey Day meal ... we'really expecting 30 folks; but, we open our home to whoever shows up.

The Ham is done ... the Turkey and Chicken are in the oven ... the Sweet Potatoes are boiling ... and I am on the patio, sipping a 12 year old single malt, having a smoke, listening to BabyGirl's updated playlist.

Holidays are good ... Spending it with family is better ... having my BabyGirl home is beyond words!

Happy Thanksgiving Family.

Brown sugar and just enough orange juice to cover the bottom of the pan! And don't forget the crushed pineapple and the Cherries ! No one wil forgive you!

We've got a dozen in the house and probably eight to ten more coming for the day tomorrow.

Lotta cooking going on here too!

Happiest Thanksgiving to you, too! And to everyone visiting this fine enclave!

We are blessed and must share. Last year I stopped counting at 42.

We partied until daybreak ... I lost $100 in Dominos; and, I think my next door neighbor is very afraid, or in love with my family!

(well except for the $100 you lost but the company and the day otherwise was probably priceless!)

for just the reason you describe.

is this the first time you will see her in person after the shooting at her school ? after something like that it shows how special moments like this are.
