Thanksgiving 2009

Thanksgiving found the usual suspects showing up at our doorstep this year to celebrate the holiday. Marilyn and I have ironed out our cooking strategy with the addition of a turkey roaster although much of the preparation still involves the outside BBQ grill.
Steve and Carol driving directly in from the frosty north brought Piggy, their faithful canine to the party. Piggy enjoyed romping in the large backyard but carefully eyed the large orange fish huddled in the pond before a refreshing drink. Convinced they weren't South American orange dog tongue biting fish, she began lapping up their home.
One topic around the table each year is the Christmas wish list. Each person states those things they most desire for Christmas. Groggy from the large turkey feast, most everyone else forgets what was said within the hour. This year Linda proposed a new method for Christmas gift giving. We would draw names and have only one family member to shop for. When we all get together on Christmas Eve, everybody would get one gift. It seemed simple enough.
Carol's family had used this method for years. The only draw back she and Steve observed was that December seemed to be "break up" month. If one of the family's significant others broke up with them and that person had selected your name, well, Cupid just stomped on your Christmas gift. Believing that all our family relationships durable enough to go another month, we drew names.

Jay drove here from California in his sporting new Chrysler Crossfire. He gave us rides around the neighborhood. Of course the question of the DeLorean popped up.
Jay assured us that he still has the DeLorean which was spirited out of Jim and Linda's back yard recently to a secret bunker in Southern California where Jay's sporadic restoration efforts will some day restore its stainless steel glory. Maybe next Thanksgiving it will be DeLorean rides for all.
