Had a TG holiday with Adrian, the Hopfinger family, the new baby, Bindu, and about 20 cases of beer and three turkeys. I have never ate and drank so much in three days in my life. It was absolutely perfect - the weather was pretty decent, there was more food than we could have possibly eaten, and we were almost completely secluded from the rest of the world - I was out of pager range and my cell phone was off for most of the time.
The baby is absolutely adorable - the only time I heard him cry was when they tried to put him to bed on Thansgiving, and he just didn't want to miss the excitement. He smiles and laughs a lot and is generally adorable. Overall it was a great time. And the food - oh my Lord, the food! Two deep-fried turkeys, one roasted turkey (only used for the gravy on TG night), 20 lbs of potatoes, corn casserole, yams, stuffing, wild rice, green beans, salad (like anyone was going to eat that), and lots of other good stuff. Plus a smorgasboard of deserts. Oh my it was good. And, we got to spend most of the day drinking beer and burning leaves. It was great.
So, now back to the regular world - we have to go shopping this coming weekend for presents. That'll be fun.
Sorry for the short one, but work is heavy. Gotta run...
