Well Thanksgiving Day is over. And all is well in the home of Mama Vi.
I actually made pretty good time last night - traffic was remarkably light.....considering.
Of course there wasn't much of what a person could describe as sleep. I think I finally drifted off around 4:00am. OUCH. Mama Vi? Worse than me. It was pretty pitiful.
Anyway - dinner was very nice. The kids must have some sort of lojack for food set up somewhere cause the doorbell rang just as I put the final bowl on the table. Just. In. Time.
Dee was working at the firestation so she and her partner did what we refer to as a "snatch and grab" meal. Still it was all pretty nice.
The cool thing was Dee made a big formal dinner at the station too. It even made the local news. 38 lb turkey more pies than you would imagine, ham, sausage, potatoes - the list goes on and on. We come by that honest, you'd understand that if you saw what we had here today.
Anyway - I got to watch my Bucs play. It started out pretty well. How it ended? Yeah, well, let's just say I deserve some sort of medal. I watched my Buc's play like crap with nary a threat of washing my mouth out with soap by Mama Vi. Seriously - if you'd ever watched a football game with me, especially when my Boys are playing, you'd understand what a high level of self control I exhibited.
Anyway - tomorrow morning Mama Vi and I will wrap some presents (did I mention I have my Christmas shopping done?!) and then I head for the house.
But it was a good day. I have a lot to be thankful for.
