Thanksgiving Recap
Well, Thanksgiving was a success. We had a wonderful meal, spent time with family and relaxed. Wow, "relaxed" is a word I can't say I use very often.
On Black Friday, my mom and I braved the hordes and did the 5 am shopping - for ourselves!
On Saturday, I took my Grams shopping and she completed her Christmas shopping. Then we went to hubby's best friend's home for a dessert party. The hubby made a Pumpkin Cheesecake Creme Caramel. YUMMY! That is all I can say.
On Sunday we saw my nephew for a few and then the hubby and I got out the quads and the helmets for some trail fun. All was going smoothly until we got to a 10 foot drop off which was riddled with ruts. Hubby made it down ok, my quad started to tip forward after hitting a rut about 1 foot deep and I bailed. My hubby sat at the bottom a little startled for he had seen me inch toward the drop, turned to pull forward and when he turned around, I was rolling end over end down the hill with the rider-less quad coming toward him. In the process of the bail, I hit a stump and I've a nasty bruise to show for it. Nothing like eating dirt on a quad ride - I'll tell ya.
So, I spent quality time with the hubby, quality time with the boy and quality family food time. It was a wonderful weekend. As an added treat, I'm posting the following pics:
THE PIES
THE TABLE SETTING - GRANDMA'S ANTIQUE CHINA
THE TURKEY - WITH A LITTLE TURKEY TOO
THE TABLE'S SET AND IT'S TIME TO EAT
IT'S KIMCHI BY GOSH!
Yummmmmmmy. Looks good enough to eat right off the pictures. So glad to hear that you got nothing more than some bad bruises. You could have really been hurt bad.
Posted by: Tink at November 27, 2006 11:37 AMWe went down to see my father and ended up going to a restaurant this year...only the second time in my life I've gone out to eat on Thanksgiving. It's not something I'd like to repeat. The food was great and all, but sitting in a crowded restaurant, eating what the chef decides is a Thanksgiving menu (there were no turnips), and having no chance to show off my pie-making skills kind of took some of the charm of the holiday away. And I only got a little itty bit of cranberry sauce!

Couldn't help myself... ;)

Posted by: caltechgirl at November 27, 2006 11:53 PMMy days working in the hospital have left me with nothing nice to say about quads...so I will simply say that I am glad that you are ok. :-)
My Turkey Day was nowhere as nice as yours.
