It is turkey time! Well, it was for us last night! What a wonderful even we had. Hope that everyone had enough to eat and drink!
We had 16 for dinner - myself and Brian, Rick and Chantal, Shannon & Dwayne, Meghan, Corey & Ryan, Lindsay, Ken, Sarah, Tomer & Carla and Matt & Britt. Lots of wonderful wines - thank you Rick, Shannon, Tomer and Sarah! And the best company! Lots of laughter for sure.
And Shannon made her baked brie - it is always so yummy. And Britt brought hers as well with peppered jellies!
We let Rick carve the turkey and Dwayne carved the ham! They both did a great job and not much turkey left - but enough for me to have a sandwich shortly!
We were all taking bets as to how much Meghan and Corey's baby will weigh - she is coming any day now, we all can sense it! And we can't wait! Want to meet this little girl!
Many dishwasher loads later and the last guests left - midnight! Ryan woke up just as Mommy picked him up from the bed and he wanted oranges. So a container went home with him for him to have today! Then we sat down with a glass of wine and relaxed. Then I went to bed and had a long sleep!
Then today, got a wonderful call from a very dear friend in Romania - Tiberius - and he played a beautiful piece of music which he composed for the piano, for me over the phone. It was an amazing feeling and experience. Brought tears to my eyes, but in a good way. Can't wait to see him again the next time he visits - we all miss him terribly.
Now the table is back to normal, the dishes are all done (5 loads) and put away. Hard to tell we had a houseful of family last night - though the fridge gives that away! The sun is shining and it is such a beautiful day!
Hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving this weekend and that each of everyone of us has something to be grateful for. Life, love and happiness pretty much sums it up for me!
Love to you all

Roni and Brian,
We had such a wonderful time at your place for Thanksgiving this year! Thank you so much for the invite! Loved seeing the family, spending some time, and having some time to chat and laugh and get caught up with those we haven't seen in a bit...
Ryan is such a little ham, sometimes, and it's hilarious! He's becoming so much of a little boy now, rather than baby (the change is so evident), and it's fun to joke around with him, and watch as he tries to make people laugh! It'll be great when his little sister makes her appearance!
I hope everyone has many, many things to be thankful for! My blessings are many!!
At this time of year my friend I think of you (to give thanks for the true friends I have) and am VERY glad you had an awesome Thanksgiving.
Hugs, love & laughter,
B in PG
