GREAT THANKSGIVING WEEKEND
You can't beat a weekend when it snows on Thanksgiving day, the Aggies beat tu in football and the Aggies basketball team wins the NIT tournament in Madison Square Garden in NYC. I walked this morning with Kathy and enjoyed the nice weather with the snow making all our cedar trees look like Christmas trees. The only down side is the Mavericks losing at Indiana.
Today is Mark's birthday and they are celebrating by flying back to Nagoya to visit their friends there and come home by Hawaii. Mark called from DFW about 7:30 a.m. to say they had gone to the airport at 5. When Lou told him to have a good birthday he said it would be the shortest birthday of his life because he will be crossing the international dateline into tomorrow in a few hours. They were flying to Minneapolis, Toyko and Nagoya which is a long trip for a short birthday.
Yesterday our daughter, her two daughters, her son, Jon-Marc and her husband made a great Thanksgiving dinner with every gastronomic taste for every palate. Keith and Jon-Marc (over Lou's dead body) deep fat fried three turkeys while Kathy baked one in our oven. The deep fried have become a tradition for the Wilcoxs. They cook one for each grandkid. Our oldest grandson had to cancel their trip because their two sons were under the weather and Lou has a low resistance due to her chemo. We had a full house for dinner with Ike & Sue, her daughters Amanda and Diana, with her husband, Kent Livesay, sons Whitt, Taylor and Logan. As well as Amanda's dog.
For dessert, Kathy made home-made ice cream, Vanessa made home-made chocolate bon-bons, Susan Hunter's pecan pie from the Lord's Acre auction, Kathy made a pumpkin pie, an apple pie, and Kent brought high dollar banana pudding from Stephenville. Plus a cherry-cream cheese-brownie, and I don't know what else. It was pure heaven eating for me. After watching the Dallas Cowboys beat the Jets, it started snowing huge flakes and Diana insisted that Kent get photos of her sons in the snow storm for her Christmas Cards. They got a lot of good photos.
In the literary world, UPS delivered Glenn Beck's AN INCONVIENT BOOK and we found that Jon-Marc is a fan of his. Both he and Valerie have read some chapters. I finished Bill Neal's book and read one chapter in Beck's book.
