Roanoke, VA USA
Hello
Hope everyone had a happy Thanksgiving. It certainly is the season of eating!

Randal’s (and Linda’s) niece Tammy had never been up to visit Linda and Ken in Big Island so we planned an afternoon /early dinner visit. Happily it was also their anniversary so we could wish them many more years together.

This photo to me is “so Linda and Ken.”
Ribs, slaw, slow cooked beans!
Slow cooked and then finished on the grill!

Thanksgiving at my sister’s house
A dusting of snow remained from the Wednesday morning snow storm. |

Brother-in-law Jim deep fried the Turkey |

Some dishes were quick and easy and some were from scratch: Jim’s sister Beth mashes the potatoes |

Harriet and Clark were helping themselves to Turkey, stuffing etc while the rest of us were digging into beans, roasted veggies, pickled beets, rolls, cranberry sauce…. And then it was time to clean up! And then it was time for dessert: Jess’s apple pie/whipped cream and Marie Callender’s Peanut Cream Pie with chocolate crust! |

My niece Jess and her friend Clark. (Jess is wearing a scarf made by Andrew on his knitting machine. Soft and warm!)
And then it was time to sit and relax unless you’re Max who only rarely relaxes. Beth’s son Tyler (a really wonderful artist) watches the antics. |

Bruch at Our Daily Bread and a visit to “our land” with friends Becky and Mike
Randal and Mike I had yummy French toast made with Portuguese Sweet Bread. Randal had the whole wheat but we traded pieces. http://www.odbb.com/ We had gotten there about 11 am and snagged the last table! Place was packed as it was the one other time I’ve been with Becky at 8 am. |

Randal showing Becky and Mike a map of our land before we walked the future driveway up to the future house. Pretty chilly here in Virginia except for this afternoon when it’s about 60! |
