We Gather Together

Thanksgiving 2013 was celebrated at Mom and Dad's. A delicious traditional meal was ordered from The Vinoy, in St. Petersburg. Mom set a beautiful table complete with turkeys, Pilgrims, and little gourds. And candles.

Remember the Publix Pilgrims!

 

The food was very flavorful and expertly cooked. We devoured it- - not much was left over!

For dessert, there was pumpkin pie ...

    ...  and fancy boxed chocolates!

After all the feasting and clearing away, teams were chosen for a corn hole tournament. Never played before, but being outside in the sunshine, laughing, and trying to get little bean bags into little holes was very entertaining! Allan and I lost - big time!

 

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

Two Dollar Tuesday

Most Tuesday evenings this year have been spent with the same small group of family and friends enjoying wine, craft beer, and California tacos. On nice days we gather on an outside sidewalk patio. We all come strolling in between 5:30 to 6 pm., greet each other, and place our drinks order. We talk, laugh, and share our days experiences with each other. We all have our favorite tacos and always order the same ones. Most of us also order the same drinks, in the same order. This is a comfortable, friendly time that we all look forward too.

Our dear friends, Diann and Bill O'Conner, join us about each week. Only my sister, Mary Jo, was missing, due to a cold! What a nice tradition this has turned into! Come join us this week!
