Turkey Day Stuffing

Well, hello to all, friends, family and foes, residing in red and blue states, liberal and conservative and all in between. Stuffing day is over and a good time was had by all. #2 (Justin) and Sarah and Emily, Justin's Squeeze, all arrived at the house promptly at eleven pm on Thanksgiving Eve. I was expecting them around 10 and being tired from working all day had already gone to bed. However, in that my visits with them are so few and far between I drug my tired ass out of bed and socialized for about an hour before cashing in again. The younger set stayed up till 5am cleaing out the liquor cabinet before retiring. It's ok though as they all got up early, around 2pm on Turkey Day. The wife, aided by her mother Georgia and myself cooked and cleaned all day. James and his squeeze Arin finally arrived for dinner around 8pm with dawgs in tow. We had 5 dogs to add to Thanksgiving dinner bedlam much to my wife's chagrin. Sarah brought her 80 pound lap dawg Penelope, Georgia brought her Terrier "Timmy" named for the Southpark Character. (Not Really, but it is hard to call him in a normal tone.) Dawg/Buffalo was present all day of course and then James/Arin arrived with my grandpuppy "Tyson" and their new dawg, half collie and half wildebeast "Asher". Bedlam cannot describe the ensuing "fomal" dinner. We all stuffed and then had pecan and chocolate pies for dessert. The company finally left around 11 and I drug my overstuffed-tired ass to bed for some much-needed Zs. Friday was pretty much a non-event as it was cold and the company had departed. Pretty quiet with just Liz and me and Dawg/Buffalo. Watched the Arkansas/LSU game, toggeling back and forth between it and the Texas/A&M game. Wow! The Arkansas game was unbeliveable. What a heart stopper. I was so glad to see the Hawgs win! On Saturday, after much needed rest on Friday, I had to change the elements in the hot water heater, which I have to do about every 8 months. Our well water has soooo much calcium and the electolosis action of the heat element precipitates the calucim. Most of it drops to the bottom of the heater until finally the lower element shorts out. Takes about 8 months and then Handi-man Jim gets to go drain the heater and suck out the calcium with my wet/dry vac using my Afro-Engineered special hose. Takes about two hours to get out a dry gallon of calcium. What Fun! On Sunday, I cleaned/straightened my garage most of the afternoon. The only time I left the house for the weekend was on Saturday to make a run to the beer store. Anyway, I'm posting pik-sures from the blessed events. The new blonde is Emily, Justin's Squeeze. Hope you all are well. Older Whiskey....
