This picture shows 6 people sleeping in the living room of my mother-in-laws house in Morehead, KY. We just got back from spending our Thanksgiving there and we had a great time. We had 14 people all over the house Thanksgiving night and would have not had it any other way.
1st the bad news, we finally had the nerve to tell Tammy that no one really liked the dinner rolls and cakes she has been getting from Riley's Bakery in Newark. For years Gary has gone down there and stood outside to get the rolls and cakes for family events. We always thought everything from there was so dry and hard to eat, but we never could bring it to tell Tammy. She thinks they are great! Well we told her and now she is paranoid about everything she makes. She even called Corey tonight and asked him what else she makes that no one likes!
Now the good news, we had a great time.
The food was great, even Pam's breakfast was very good, with plenty to go around. It was the first time that everyone had been together for Thanksgiving, maybe ever. I know it wasthe 1st time since Billy Reid passed away and Memi moved to KY. Everyone got along and got to do there own thing. Some played Phase 10, some watched football, some watched hunting shows, and the rest just talked to each other.
On Friday, JR took Brandon and Blake out to some land he owned for them to hunt. Brandon said it reminded him a little of deliverance and was glad he had a gun, they saw a few does, but no bucks. JR gave Blake a muzzle loading pistol and Brandon and Corey a muzzle loading rifle.
Tyler and Memi got up at 0430 to be at the stores by 0500, said the Wal-Mart lot was overflowing. The rest of us got up and went shopping around 0700. Tami and Gary left to fight the crowds at Jeffersonville Outlet Malls.
Got back Friday, so today we put up the outside decorations. Angela and I then spent the rest of the day in Columbus Christmas shopping. I was surprised how easy it was to get around, there were people, but not a lot. The weather was great with temps in the 60s.
Tomorrow, have another dinner at the Bonner's with Kyle and Amy and their families and then back to work on Monday.
