The table was set . . .
There was football in the street . . .
and football on the big screen . . .
There was pool and football on the TV . . .
There was good-for-you food . . .
and just-plain-good food . . .
There was some music . . .
and some game-playing (damn, I wish that was my word) . . .
There was a big, American Thanksgiving hello to my ex-pat blogger friend, Deb, in Japan . . .
And, of course, there were pies . . .
Let the working it off commence!
Oh yum. I'm stuffed to the gills and my mouth is watering. Sigh.
Happy Thanksgiving!

I'm still stuffed too, ugh. Looks like there was fun to be had and great food at your house. Am I missing something though? Have we skipped 2008 and gone directly to Nov 2009? Is the economy better? ;)

Hey, it looks like somebody had parked a classic Mustang on your street!
I suppose you don't consider it cruel to post nice sunny, warm pictures when SOME of us have grey, cold and snowy.....

Holidays in your house must be so much fun!

Looks like a very nice day. My family doesn't even blink anymore when I take picture of generally non-photograph-worth subjects - like the Scrabble board.

(Insert Homer Simpson voice) Mmm. Bacon.

What a great day. And what a great job you did recording it for posterity, and for us. My camera stayed in the drawer, and I stayed in bed.
