Life does not get much better!!

We left Mission on Thursday morning at 7:45 am to start our 5 hour drive to Austin. The drive was pretty uneventful, the highways fairly empty and we got to Doug's dad house around 11:30 am. It is nice to spend holidays with family and between Doug's stepbrother, his dad, his wife Vee and her two sons with their wives and children, we had a pretty full house.


Dinner was served around 2 pm and everything was delicious. I love having big dinners with family. We left about 4 pm to start back on our 5 hour drive to Mission. A cold front was coming through, the temperature had dropped already 20 degrees when we left Austin, but we managed to get home around 9:30 pm before the cold front. By the time we woke up the next morning, it was in the mid 40's.

Friday we were invited to the Thanksgiving leftover dinner with our friends. Dave and Sue were gracious enough to lend us their huge living room in their new house, since it was to cold to sit outside. There was nothing leftover about this dinner and Dale was so sweet to make another pecan, chocolate chip and Southern Comfort pie. It was to die for and there was no piece left at the end of the dinner.



So now it is Sunday we just got back from Turkey soup dinner again at Dave and Sue's house. We had a humongous pot of turkey soup, bread, squash/raisin bread and brownies. The ladies cut up everything yesterday and made a most delicious soup for today.

Now you tell me. Can live get any better? :-)
