Ahhh, the return of the quiet is almost loud in its peacefulness. Our house has been thoroughly broken in and has passed the test. My Thanksgiving decorations were soon moved to make room for game playing and laying out of food. Our youngest family member, grandson Connor carted the baby pumpkins around in the candle bowls…he apparently had his own opinion of how the decorations should have been placed. He played in the drapes and fingerprinted and noseprinted the windows he could reach…his Auntie Michelle even lifted him up where he could reach even more windows…woo-hoo. The floors were anointed with everything that Connor ate. Every room that had a couch or a bed was slept in and was deemed comfortable.
The local deer provided entertainment on a daily basis, the big buck and his does grazing on the grasses in the yard. Michelle left for her morning jog only to return very shortly afraid for her Achilles tendons when she spotted a coyote sitting at the corner…she was afraid it would take out after her and nip at her heels, later that night Larry and I were outside and we could hear the coyotes singing to each other. The oak trees played catch with the wiffle balls and football, our son in law Darel even climbed up into the tree to free one of the balls. The boys discovered the deer trails and ran all over the place. They also spent a lot of time playing Wii games.
The turkey turned out golden and tasty, the mashed potatoes creamy and golden, the gravy lumpy and tasty, there were the usual pies and my luscious rum cake. The carcass became the foundation of two pots of wonderful turkey soup and I made yet another rum cake, this one chocolate instead of yellow…double yum! My kitchen makes cooking enjoyable for me instead of a chore. The dishwasher got a work out…at least two loads a day.

I won a couple of games and was completely skunked in one game of Zonk…I never got on the board…I was the entertainment portion of the game. We played Yahtzee with the boys, they caught on pretty quickly.
Larry’s Mom came up on Friday and stayed until today also which was nice for everyone…
