On Turkey Day, Karen brought out the family table cloth that gets signed every year for T-day. After we all sign, Karen takes it home and embroiders all the signatures in it. The last time Tony and Adam signed was 4 years ago… a coincidence that it has been that long since we bought our house in
We had an early dinner so we could enjoy the day visiting. We of course had way too much food, there were about fifteen of us for dinner and we had two turkeys, ham, sauerkraut with kielbasa and the usual other suspects. Adam’s favorite food at this dinner was Rob’s pumpkin pie. He uses Libby’s recipe but adds Kahlua – yummy! We had to eat parts of one of these early as the glass pie plate that it was in shattered while it was cooling! We salvaged what we could, which wasn’t much because of the shattered glass, but Adam was determined to eat as much of it as he could before sending the rest out with the trash!
Adam, his brother, John and friend Larry, headed outside to do a little fly fishing instruction and training. John has been doing lots of fly fishing lately and he gave Adam a fly rod and reel so he could enjoy it as well! John is a really big fisherman and is Adam’s supplier and pusher for fishing equipment.
Adam caught a small bluegill at the pond in front of the house with lots of tutelage from Larry and John.
In the evening we all settled down and ousted the kids at the Wii. Adam’s favorite game is Raving Rabbids. You get to shoot rabbits with plungers amongst other things. After demonstrating some of the games to the younger kids the adults thought they should give it a try as well. Everybody got in on the action and had a great time.
The next day we all headed out to breakfast in downtown Beaufort. This is one of Rob’s favorite traditions and we all took part this year. Rob’s favorite is the Shrimp and Grits, and as far as we are concerned if you are going to have grits, this is the way to have them! We had a great time at the restaurant then we said our goodbyes and headed on down to
