Thanksgiving Sunday Instead of Monday Part 1

My eyes opened to be greeted to sunny skies which made me happy since I had to travel today... and as I thre the blankets back I realized maybe I should start putting on some heat in the house...well maybe now... a sweater and socks would do for now still.... yes I am cheap...
As I walked down the stairs the smell of the broccoli bake hit me like a ton of bricks... ohh just a small taste just to make sure that it was okay for the rest of the family... ya right I know myself.... one tast will lead to another... and there wouldn't be enough left for everyone else... so I left it alone... for now any way....
As I turned the corner of the kitchen outside the winow was covered with white stuff... not snow yet just a very heavy frost but it was still pretty... I know I am a nut... frost only means that it is getting colder which means winter is coming but it was still pretty....
Sunday morning one of my favorite part of my week... old music blasting thoughout the house only time I actually listen to Max 104.9 ... oldies and Jeff Foxworthy's country count down.... So as the music filled the house I got both puppies and myself some breakfast... found my basket to pack for the trip... and the morning when quickly by with the final touches to the car... picked up mom and dad and down the road we went... to see the rest of the family who were at the time working very hard to cook a meal for us...
The drive was so beautiful with all the fall colors in full aray wishing that someone else was doing the driving so I could have taken in more then I did... with the car going closer to that white line every once in a while when I took a longer look then I was suppose to... he he... dad noticed but mom didn't that was what counted LOL... yes I would have stopped a dozen times along the way if I was alone...maybe next time...
Turkey cooked to a perfect golden brown.. very juicy... stuffing made from scretch... way to go... potatoes, carrots, string beans, real gravy... not that package stuff... of course broccoli bake, cranberries and rolls.... ohhh almost forgot ham... a feast kind for any King but made for us to celebrate our THansgiving together.... of course there was dessert.... peacan (made by Danie and I took a lite bite from Papa's piece very good hon) apple and blueberry pie and Banana bread with chocolate chips...ohhhh that was very good too....
As we were getting to leave we presented with apple jelly and banana bread to take home made by Danie...don't know she was such a good little cook.... I would like to say instead of coming home and pigging out on the bread it went into the freezer so Carl can share it with me when he gets home...
To Yvette and Hubert I would like to say thank you so very much for hosting Thanksgiving this year it was a wonderful change for me.... and I totally enjoyed it so very much... Danie for all her wonderful baking... you make it an awesome day for all of us...
Of course I was there and you know what else was with me lol the camera... here are the first pictures of the day... I will post the others tomorrow...
Ohhh yes before I finish this blog I have to say ... way to go to Danie... you are looking out of this world... keep up the good work...
Happy Thanksgiving to all... Love Jo
