Sat we took Big Ella out for some exercise, we went to lunch, stopped at the grocery store, watched TV, and Spouse napped. Steven & Thad, their friend Joe, and The Bobs came over for dinner. We purposely made extra Thanksgiving food so we could have it again with our friends. Amazingly, after 5 people at on Thanksgiving and 7 people at on Sat, we STILL have Thanksgiving left overs. But they're so tasty I don't mind. I had some for lunch today and put the rest in the freezer. We had a really nice evening with the guys and I was surprised at how quickly the time flew by. We ate in the dining room and used our 'good' dishes, glasses, silverware, and serving pieces. It was fun!
Sun morning we met Rick & Nick for brunch at 10 (we drove Big Ella). It was surprisingly warm and very sunny; we didn't even need a jacket. We took Jordan for a nice, long walk, then decided to go for a convertible ride with the top down, of course. I washed the last of the casserole dishes and played around on the computer while Spouse napped. Then we went to Rick & Nick's to watch a movie on their theatre-size screen. First we watched Kathy Griffin's "Balls of Steel" stand-up comedy act, which was great! I love Kathy Griffin! Then we watched "Stardust", which I'd never heard of before, but apparently was in the theatres for at least a week. We enjoyed it.
Its amazing how quickly a 4-day weekend can pass. I'm already looking forward to having some days off for Christmas.

The leftovers are almost better than the actual meal! I love a fridge full.
Sounds like a great weekend. And I might be in love with Eion Bailey. Just sayin'...
Now thats the kin of weekend I like, I agree. We didn't do our tree yet either. I was wait till the end of the first week in December. The Thanksgiving food is good the day of, but I swear, the left overs always taste better. Or is it just me?
We had a Leftovers Party the day after T-Day, so most of ours is gone, though I boiled the turkey carcas for soup stock and put away some turkey for a great soup at a later date.
Sounds like you guys had a lovely, lovely weekend.
Mark, we liked Stardust as well. It didn't appeal to mass audiences, but we don't really care about that.
yea..perfect leftovers...how pretty!
ummmmmm, nice furry crush!
