Better...........

.........late than never - right?  I know I am terribly remiss in getting my Thanksgiving post done, but........

... recently we found ourselves in a hotel room, on a practice run for our trip to Florida for the winter..... only we were only a short distance from Munchie's house, and the plan was to visit them for Thanksgiving dinner at their house.  As you can see, Poppa and Taffy were watching TV, while Squeegie had a nap.  The next day...........

........ we were admiring the fine work of the Master - Munchie!  Take a close look at the turkey's body and you will recognize a small footprint, then the tail is composed of bi-colour hand-prints!  Isn't it just a precious piece of art?  Poppa gave Munchie his birthday bag............

........... where he discovered something I had been promising for quite a while.... a new Buster!  His old Buster was getting quite bedraggled and we decided it was time for a new one.  The first thing Munchie did.........

...... was check to make sure the new Buster had blue eyes - like his old Buster, himself and Poppa.  Of course I had made sure of that!  Once the new Buster was approved.............

....... with Daddy looking on solemnly and............

...... Mommy keeping an eye on things, with a big smile!  When Munchie was finished checking out the "new" Buster, he .................

........... let Curtie have a look, while he went to see what else was in his birthday bag........... there was a bunch of clothes, which weren't so exciting, but he likes clothes and was fairly enthusiastic.  I seemed to be so busy after - I didn't get many more pictures - but we had a great time.  Mommy had a wonderful roast in the slow cooker, along with vegetables and some creamed corn - it was yummy beyond description - it had been a looooong time since we'd had roast beef!  Poppa had a great time playing with his little boys and did that until they finally were convinced to head off to bed.  He tucked them in and then joined the rest of us to watch the hockey game.  When it was over we headed back to the hotel and after a good sleep, returned home.  It was a nice break from routine, and gave us time to visit..............

............ with our future famous artist and his family!  If you click on the picture to see it larger, you can see Curtie, Daddy & Mommy, plus a self-protrait of Munchie!  I should add that the turkey in the first picture is proudly displayed in my fridge now!  Thank you to Munchie and his family for a great weekend and a bountiful Thanksgiving dinner!
