The weekend.

Thanksgiving 2006 has come and gone. We spent a mostly quiet day with family and, of course, ate way too much.

As always, lunch was at my parents' house with my sister and her family. Here you can see the kids (mine and my sister's) enjoying 'crazy time' after the meal:

Afterward, we took a leisurely afternoon drive, visited the cemetery where Stacie's mom is buried and returned home to make the final preparation for the evening meal (like we needed it).

Not to brag, but our turkey was just over the top this year. Some of the best turkey I have ever had to privilege to consume.
Three guesses what's stuffed up ol' Tom's rearside... Mmm, mmm good! That bird doesn't quite look the same this morning but there are plenty of potential sandwiches left in the 'fridge!

With all that over, we should now be able to spend the remainder of the weekend relaxing around the house...

You gotta be kiddin'.

No, Stacie's working today but leaving early. Saturday is nephew Craig's wedding. The kids and I will meet Stacie at the bank with the SUV fully loaded and we'll hopefully make it to Nashville just in time for the wedding rehearsal. Then, dinner after that and we're spending the night since brother-in-law Tim reserved a block of rooms at the hotel.

I hope to have a couple of hours Saturday to do our own thing in the big city before we have to start getting dressed for the ceremony in the afternoon. Then there's the reception and the hour plus drive back home.

We'll be lucky to get home before the kids' bedtime. And then we have early service on Sunday...

So, no relaxing around the house for us, laugh.

I hope everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving and you'll be hearing from me sometime next week.

In the meantime, consider this: What if Geoffrey Chaucer had been into science fiction and classic rock lyrics?
