Thanksgiving
 |
Thanksgiving Day starts early in Tuolumne, if you want
to smoke a turkey in the smoker, you have to get up at sunrise. If you want
to smoke two turkeys, you have to get up before the sun. |
 |
This was going to be the last day of our two week
Indian Summer warm spell. The sun isn't up yet, but it did catch the
contrail of a jet bringing Thanksgiving travelers into SFO. |
 |
The smoke started going up as the same time as the sun,
the two turkeys went into the smoker at eight o'clock in the morning. |
 |
By noon we were setting up the rest of
the feast, of course if you're going to have smoked turkey, a nice Pinot
Noir is the perfect accompaniment. |
 |
While the inside is being set up,
there's time for some target practice with the pellet guns. Bob is
demonstrating his technique to Lindsay and Lauren. |
 |
Lauren, Debbie and Berlynn take a quick
time out from getting everything ready for a pose in the kitchen. |
 |
Once the dinner is on the table,
everyone can gather around to enjoy the great food. |
 |
Of course any time the cousins get
together, they make faces! |
 |
And then they're embarrassed about it
afterwards! |
 |
They're even passing their traits on to
the younger set! Look at Leah helping Rebecca! |
 |
We hope you're Thanksgiving was as nice
as ours. Leah and Spike ended the day with visions of Christmas in their
dreams. |
