It is all over but the soup making here on Cheney. We had Stacey and Marilou and Sam in from Eliott and Andrew was already here. The festivities started Friday and continued until about 10am this morning. Our turkey dinner was on Saturday and a good meal was had by all. Even Stacey had enough to eat!! My brined unstuffed 15.9 pound turkey was done in 2 hours and 20 minutes at 325 so meal time was pushed up by about an hour and a bit. After dinner we gathered by the dock and watched Marilou pull in her first two fish - two nice walleyes that Rejean cleaned for her to take home. She caught another one and released it - that is the one she is kissing in one of the pictures. She was thrilled. Sam was right in there watching everything. He loves it up here. He tries to keep the lake shore free of sticks and stones.
Sunday night was left over Turkey A'La King the way my Mom used to make it. I always have it after our big turkey dinners. After dinner we all had a few too many cocktails and spent the evening watching a Fleetwood Mac concert on the TV and then requesting our favourite song videos also on the TV. It was a wild night. I got to watch Thunderstruck by ACDC again. Love seeing Angus in shorts skipping across the stage. Thanks again to Mitch for introducing me to this great song/video.
Andrew left for Calgary this morning and Stacey and Marilou and Sam returned to Eliott. It is very quiet around here...
