I thought I might add these photos of the "kids", as they seem to signify the true spirit of Thanksgiving -- togetherness, and anticipation of the feast (that's Sage's tongue sticking out, like the Hungry Howie guy).Another Thanksgiving is almost here, and this time Big Dave and I will be hosting it in our home. We (well, Big Dave, actually) will be cooking everything from scratch (except the pie crust), using the many fine cookbooks we bought in Savannah. My mom and dad will be our victims... I mean guests... and will be here for a couple of days. Yay. Sorry, did that not sound sincere? Lemme try that again... YAY!
I am looking foward to the oven roasted turkey, the cornbread stuffing with walnuts, the whippped taters, green bean casserole, the fresh roles with real Wisconsin butter. And, of course, the pumpkin pecan pie (layer of pecans on the pie crust). My mouth is already watering.
After the feast, we'll be playing a round of golf, to help work off all the evil food. But not real golf. Big Dave and I have made up our own rules in regards to the sport, and they are as follows:
1. Never keep score. It's much more fun to imagine your next hit as the "hole in one" you've always dreamed about, even if it's really your 10th swing.
2. If you don't like where your ball landed, just pick it up and move it to a more desirable area. 3. The "par" score is just a guideline. We've always found that the higher your score, the more talented you are, because you have more swings under your belt. Practice makes perfect, right?
4. Sandtraps are merely golf course decorations, and should not be taken seriously.
5. Any hitting of a moving target (squirrels, golf carts, fellow golfers, etc.) should be considered better than a hole in one, and extra points awarded accordingly. After all, you did hit a moving target -- do you know how difficult that is?
We add rules as we go, but so far, it's worked well for us.
