Greetings from Albany, Oregon. We decided at the very last minute to join Tim's sister and brother-in-law in Albany for Thanksgiving dinner. We met Del's family and Tim's other sister Betty and her husband Benn, there were ten hungry people at her house. The drive from Coquille was lovely, it started raining near Eugene and the driving slowed down considerably.
Dinner was two turkeys, one ham, two different dressings, mashed potatoes, cranberry relish, green tomato pickles, fresh green salad, black olives, stuffed green olives,butternut squash oven roasted in maple syrup and Balsamic vinegar (tasty) apple pie, cherry pie, two pumpkin pies, pecan pie and brownies.
Good thing I have left overs at home, my pumpkin pie, butternut squash and dressing were totally eaten down to the plate!
The next day we went out to breakfast at Elmer's and I had the Dutch Baby, yummy!
We first went to Staples and purchased me a new ergonomic keyboard and husband got his birthday present and Christmas present a little early, an almost door buster special on a nifty laptop with (get this) 500 gigs of memory and 4 gigs of ram! Phew!
Then we went shopping at Freddy's. We then grabbed a quick lunch at Sizzler's. On the way home we stopped at Kohl's. They were having some great sales, we wandered through the store and didn't see any unusual activity until we noticed a long, long, long line of people.....waiting to check out! I think there were four stations and two... TWO of them were open. So we sort of snickered and left as quickly as possible.
Today we will have a leisurely continental breakfast, pack and git back home. Happy Thanksgiving. I am thankful for many things and am glad to see everyone I love had a good time.
