Happy Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving this year was just different. Our families had plans so we celebrated our Thanksgiving at home, just the four of us. We had the traditional meal of turkey (ours was smoked by Fred), mashed potatoes, gravy, stuffing, homemade cranberry salad (Granny shared the recipe, yeah!) and of course a few desserts!! We ate way too much food and watched movies for the remainder of the day. We did catch most of the Macy's Day Parade...how nice it was to be able to sit and watch without trying to get around, cook and prepare to take our food elsewhere!

On Friday we "had the best day ever"...favorite quote from Mylen. The kids and I met Melodie, Maya and Charli in Dodge City for lunch at Wendy's and a tour of the historical town! Sad news...Aunt Mendy doesn't know much history...I've heard it all...enjoyed it...just didn't keep it all straight in the old brain! A quick drive around town...DCCC, Boot Hill Casino and Resort, then down to Boot Hill museum. Monet enjoyed sharing the museum...she's been there several times. This was Mylen's first time, he enjoyed going through all the buildings with Charli and being "first". We toured all the buildings, had some sarsaparilla, ate a little fudge and enjoyed the gift shop...too many fun things to buy! Who doesn't need a little Dodge City souvenir.
