Thanksgiving Fondue

Thanksgiving Fondue

Today we had Thanksgiving Dinner at our house. Neither Brian nor I like turkey so we continued our tradition of skipping the turkey and went with fondue instead of our tradtional crablegs. It was a Frapto heavy crowd with Brian Reachard, Michael Slate, Paula Cipolla, and Dom Cipolla in attendance in addition to Paula’s husband Jim.

A little Mayo with that?

Frapto 26 – WTF!

This is my swear box/piggy bank/coin dump. I do have a sewer gob (potty mouth), but I hardly (if ever) chastise myself for letting slip a naughty word or seven. So I usually just dump the contents of my purse into it every now and then.

Here is my view for the ride up to Vermont.   We left at 4:30 am and arrived at my sister’s at 11:15am.   We took the NY Thruway up to Fort Ann, NY.  From there, the rest of the ride was small country roads.  We took the scenic route.

A pencil drawing I did today. My first pencil drawing ever really. I’m quite excited that it looks how it did in my mind, with that slightly fuzzy quality pencil drawings always seem to have.

Yikes!

Gavin found his Dad’s old Halloween mask in the closet and wanted to scare me.  We’ve had a lot of fun with this mask over the last couple of years. The dog will never be the same.

Happy Thanksgiving

Heather, her cousin Adam, and I headed up to see Heather’s sister Alyssa and her husband Bob in Vermont for Thanksgiving.  All of us, except for Adam, are vegetarian.  This picture shows Bob taking the fake turkey roast out of the oven.  All of the food was fantastic, and fun was had by all.
