The Menu

Happy thankful day of eating food!

Papa and Mema came to town and we had a such a feast.

For brunch, Papa made homemade sawmill gravy with biscuits and eggs.

For dinner, we all had a hand in cooking turkey, Mema's famous dressing, mashed potatoes, asparagus casserole, corn casserole, rolls and cranberry sauce...which turned out to be Em's favorite.
For dessert, I couldn't choose so I made two.

Chocolate Pecan Pie made from scratch...

and Ozark Apple Bread Pudding...which was David's favorite of the day.

Hope every one's Thanksgiving was a full and fattening as mine! Yum!

Go Gators!

They're BAAaaack!

The other day, Henry was going nuts out in the back yard. It was a fairly windy fall day and leaves were being blown around the yard. But I couldn't understand why he was barking so much. There was nothing out there but the leaves. Fed up with the noise, I finally stalked outside and yelled, "Henry! Hush! It's just a lea-....or it's a giant TARANTULA!" Cue me running back inside screaming like a little girl. Remember when we had a tarantula on our porch around this time last year? Don't worry I didn't kill this one. I didn't want to get close enough. (I used extreme zoom to take the pic below) He just crawled across the yard, up the 20 foot rock wall, and out of our lives. Thank goodness.

My Guys Are Famous!

They both made the paper this weekend!

Asher's birth announcement:

(It's amazing how much he has changed in just 3 short weeks.)

David made the front page for the Bass Pro Marathon:

(He's in the red shirt)

And who could blame the papers for wanting to feature my boys? Look how cute they are.
