After working the recount last Monday and Tuesday, I went
back to my “real” job on Wednesday. After work, I came home and mixed up a
large pan of dressing and rolled up some apple dumplings. Seems like I did a
few other things as well but I can’t remember what all it was. I took a break
to attend church and then came home and did some more food prep, including
mixing up two batches of bread dough for homemade rolls.
Thursday morning I got up early and made some coleslaw and a
pie and 24 mini pumpkin cheesecakes. I broke off the bread dough and made
rolls. I finished cooking the black-eyed peas and baked the dressing and rolls
and around 1:00 my brother and granddad came by to help me load everything up
and take it over to my parents’ house.
I arrived at my parents’ house around 1:30 and was surprised
to find that everyone was already there seeing as how we were scheduled to
start at 2:00 and my family is usually never on time. As it turns out my mom
told everyone we were eating at 1:30 –well, everyone but me; when she and I had
talked previously we had decided on 2:00. I made everyone wait until 2:00 to
start eating – we were still waiting on a few others to arrive who I told 2:00.
Eventually we were all there and we got started on a delicious meal.
That evening I broke one of my life long rules of not going
to the movies on a holiday and went to see Breaking Dawn Part Two with my
cousin Ashley and her husband Andy. The movie was pretty good and perhaps I
will post a review later this week.
After the movie I went home and enjoyed a little down time
before going to bed to get some rest before heading out on Black Friday. It was
one of the best Thanksgivings we have had in a long time – nice and relaxing
and tension-free, just the way it should be. Hope yours was just as nice!
