Yo Gobble Gobble!

So the day is here: day 1 of "I'll just eat what I want this season, cuz I'm starting a diet January 1".  And of course we all do start our diets, right?  Right.  :-)  The day everyone overdoses on tryptophan and pumpkin pie.

We started off by having Jenny's mom, brother, and his wife over for a really nice breakfast consisting of a friggin' great egg/sausage/cheese breakfast casserole, another casserole with diced potatoes, cheese and cornflakes on top (nice touch for those of us, like Jenny, who love crunchy stuff).

We just had a relaxing breakfast, watching the parade while we ate and just talked.  Did a lot of talking about how we didn't know any of the kids featured as "singers" on the parade.  They all seemed to look alike, and I'm pretty sure they all sang the same song.  Ahh, I love getting old and feeling out of touch.  :-/

After we put the dishes away and put the ornaments on the tree, it was time for football.  So that's what we're doing now.  The in-laws have left, but we'll see most of them later on this evening again when we do Round 2 up at Jenny's dad's place.  Right now, though, I'm gonna sit back and (hopefully) watch the Lions beat the Patriots, but it doesn't really look like that's gonna happen.  They started off great, but the Pats have come back big time and kinda shut 'em down.

Oh, by the way, it has now started SNOWING!  Come on!  Well, I guess snow is better than freezing rain - that's the worst to me!  At least the ground is still warm enough that it won't stick and make travel more difficult.  I did a little speckly kinda white stroke for the big ol' snowflakes that are coming down right now.

Here's a handy little chart, in case you're having a big family get-together and can't figure out where to seat everyone.  Hope everyone's having a really Happy ThanksgivingBe careful out there!
