Buenas Tardes fellow NikonGearettes. This is the day after Thanksgiving. Mary Lou, Maggie and Gary are recovering in the patio. It is three o'clock and about 70F/21C in the backyard. Yesterday was long and tiring, but well worth the effort. The food was excellent, wine wonderful and both were more than plentiful. Nearly twice as many guests showed up than expected and fortunately we cooked up a ton of food. Turkey, ham, mashed potatoes, stuffing, salads, breads, cranberry sauce, et cetera all washed down with California, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, some unique red blends and an extremely tasty brandy. It was a very pleasant afternoon and evening and I wish you all could have come.
Mary Lou, (my much much better half), suggested that we do absolutely nothing today and I didn't argue. Consequently, after walking Maggie, (our Wheaten Terrier in the local park), we spent the day relaxing in the patio, sipping coffee, eating banana bread, watching news shows on the tele, reading the paper and just kicking back and watching the Koi swim lazily in the pond and the hummers darting amongst the blossoms.
Tonight, Thanksgiving leftovers ... a Netflix, followed up with a dip in the hot tub.
Tomorrow, I will roast some coffee beans.
