once again we had and orphan thanksgiving. we invited all of our transplanted friends over to share in giving thanks for the bounty...which we deep fried! jon and selky [aka red dog] tend to the bird in the deep fryer and the birds in the drive-way.
this smile was for not having to cook turkey tom in the oven this thanksgiving. although i [brooke] must say that last year she made the most amazing turkey i've ever had in my life!
anson, from portland, did a fabulous job on the stir fried green beans. it was awesome to see that everybody jumped right in to help.
once again, the vets [kris ann on left and melinda on right] did the honor of carving the bird. i have to learn one of these days. jon supervised the legalities of the situation!
this is selky; also known as 'red dog.' she wanted to come in and socialize, but had to stay in the mud room because...well, she was muddy. she'd join us later for games.
the adult table [kris ann, jon, melinda, brooke ...taking photo..., andrea and stosh].
the kid's table [mark, rich, and anson]. they behaved very nicely!
too much turkey; too much dessert.we had a wonderful evening that was shared with wonderful friends. we ate, drank, played games, and closed the evening around 12am. we were glad to spend it with our orphan friends!
until next year...thanksgiving out!
