Black Friday 2014

That is really a misleading title, as I do not shop, much less black friday.  It is the day after thanksgiving 2014 and we have so much to be grateful for.  Yesterday we had a house full of guests, and they were
Rita, my friend from New Horizon
Tiffany, her niece from Nebraska, and her dog Big, who Gracie had a great time chasing  She mad this great fruit salad with mint, ginger and pomagranates

Mom and Dad

Stella, Martin and Allen Tong from next door  Stella made this great tofu and guac dish, plus a bowl of eggplant that was amazing

Eddie brought the beans but had to go, his mother's friend was sick and he did not stay

Nancy was sick, just dropped the pies off and left, too bad.  We know her from church

Ron Hill came by kind of late and just had pie, he is such a sweet heart.

Mary ate with her brother at the fire station, but it was nice to have her in our thoughts

Junie Stephenson, no Mike.  It was strange, last turkey day he was still with us and now he is dead.  June made muffins

Sara and Sam Macy came by before dinner and had me look at her tooth, #25, and she had some stains and thought she had a cavity so her dad John emailed us and we hadd a look.

Ian Brubaker came by and I had a look at his tooth, he had a chipped filling but it can wait til December when he comes back from school.

We baked a 22 pound turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce in the shape of brain, mashed potatoes, gravy and all the other stuff from above  It was quite good and mom just wanted to talk to Stella.  I think she is lonely, no one to talk to

So there are still three cats, two stray cats, and Gracie and the three hens, plus Kurt. He is still not finishing the UC apps, but hey, it is his life.......

My dear husband is so sweet, he made the stuffing, cutting, cooking, and carved the huge turkey.  What a man, think I will keep him
