A wee bit of Thanksgiving

 just getting started

 Gee wiz, they're always goofy eyes with each other.

 While they're talking, this is all I have on my

plate for Thanksgiving dinner.

 Dessert was a new recipe from the Food

Network, pears poached in spices & wine with marscapone.

Oh yes, there was also a chocolate cake.

 The next day there were snacks of baked brie

and crackers with leftovers.

 Ice cream and waffle cookie can be a good snack.

Not easy an easy job, and none was broken.

 There were five trucks.

 Wayne was so glad to have someone

else do this.
