DECEMBER 2015


 

We celebrated Thanksgiving this year with Neva and Fuzzy visiting Skray and I at my house. I was very pleased with the dinner even if we were full after the appetizer. The old eyes bigger than the stomach thing.
 
One of the highlights of the day was skyping with the Hutchinson Kansas James Gang. I promised Jana that I would not use some of the pictures I have of her on the big screen tv. I did have one I could use though. We had a problem with being able to hear them because we were skyping from my computer to her phone. Everyone looks great and were all busy preparing dinner. We got to see Stacy (Chicken), and Jesse's friend Nichole.

I had the good fortune of having two Thanksgiving celebrations this year. Marty and Sunny had their traditional Saturday After Thanksgiving dinner. This year we celebrated with friends from the South Florida Mustangs Square Dancing group. Marty truly outdid himself this year. Not only was there a stuffed turkey and all the trimmings, but also a baked ham. The potato kugel was a huge hit. It is one of my favorite dishes that Marty makes. The meal was followed by fruit and chocolate fondue. I also made a pecan pie and a sugar free pecan pie.
 
And kudos to Sonny and Marty for being able to fit eight people in the space we had. And comfortably, I may add.
 
A special touch was the china service used was the wedding china from Marty's parents, whom I had the good fortune to know almost 50 years ago.
 
 
Since Fuzzy, Neva and I barely touched the turkey, I had to get busy utilizing the leftovers. After slicing and freezing most of it and making turkey stock with the bones I tried something new for me. I made six turkey pot pies and used my food saver to freeze them. I just have to take them out, and pop them in the oven.

This sight stopped me in my tracks down at Crandon Park Marina in Key Biscayne last week. It seems they were filming a music video or a commercial using cars mounted on jet skis. Not something you see everyday at work.

This is what happens when a neutral line to the house breaks and sends 240 volts of electricity throughout the house. Luckily the only fire damage was to this surge protector. It also blew up 3 other surge protectors, my freezer and several light bulbs.
 

 
 
I snapped this pic of Skray at the vet. There is a video on my facebook page.
