Thanksgiving 2008










Thanksgiving was a beautiful day in AZ. We had rain for a few days prior and then some sprinkles in the morning of Thanksgiving. But by the time the noon hour rolled around the sun was out and it was beautiful. Our Thanksgiving dinner included Aunt Gail, Mark, Marcia, Richie, Arne, Cindi, Cassie, Kirsten, Phil, Mike, Missy and myself. Uncle Dick wasn't up for the "big" day so Gail brought leftovers home to him. Julie came over after dinner and Cassie's friend Christian stopped by later as well. Before dinner Arne, Mike and the girls went to the park area behind our house and played Bocci (sp). There should be a story to tell about every big dinner and I have mine! My new flat top stove top does not take well to spill overs. I was making the gravy and turned my back when it started to boil. The house filled up with smoke in a flash. The odd thing is that it didn't smell like something had burnt, thank goodness! With all the doors and windows open it didn't take long for the smoke to clear before we were ready to eat. We all had a great visit with everyone! Love to all of you!!!

So, how hard was it to clean off the gravy from your fancy stove top? I think you still aren't really sold on its merits!!

I'm sure you had a good time with all the AZ family.
