Let’s talk turkey

Just the facts, ma’am:

Dinner was at noon.

As always, I was careful to make sure my food didn’t touch.

Oh look — a lovely bev-Uh-rah-jay to take the edge off when a certain someone began turning up the “I keep waiting for this one here to give me a grandbaby” heat.  I don’t know who she was trying to fool — everyone at that table knows I’m a cocksucker from way back.

Chocolate pie for dessert.  I passed (I don’t like chocolate).

There were 6 dogs in attendance.

But only one came in geisha attire…

…then switched into ballerina gear…

…before making a lovely poo for my camera.  (Thank you, Willow!)

And that was my Turkey Day — how was yours?

  1. HA! You figured out how to post pictures! What fun. :)
    I love the dog costumes, but in an “I would never do that to my poor dog” way.
    I’ll take all the chocolate you don’t want.

    My Thanksgiving was adventurous in the way that my youngest son makes my whole life a grating adventure.

  2. It was too bad The Fella wasn’t there to reply to Lola, “We’re trying” in response to her wanting grandchildren retort.
    So Dirk how do you keep your food from touching in your tummy?
    Three hunting dogs and three lap dogs. That is a good balance. Did you know poo can be made into ornaments? (see Torn’s blog)
    I hope you chewed the Corn well or you’ll see it again. ;)

  3. I worked all day. Thanks for the poo shot, I know it’s for me ; )

  4. Everything looked lovely…the meringue on the pie was beautiful! My pies didn’t turn out that pretty, although I’m told they were yummy…I only have a little video from my various gatherings, which I’m in the middle of putting together. I’ll try to post it for tomorrow.

  5. My thanksgiving was uneventful. I shared the day with my brother and my nephew. Now keep in mind they are, well in a word, MEN.

    Not men in a Two and a half men type but men in a “we collect guns and cars and we might have to move the transmission outta the tub so you can take a shower” type of men.

    It was a very interesting day. I felt like I was in some sort of odd reality game show gone wrong. I know they love me and I love them, they are family. But gee whiz, maybe you could try and finish the trim on the door that has been off for three years now.

    Oh well, it’s not like I have to do it everyday. I just wonder how two kids, raised in the same family, the same way, could be SOOOO different.

  6. The food looks quite yummy. This was my first holiday in about 20 years where there wasn’t a fight. Makes me look forward to the drive at Christmas.
