Cajun Cookin' & Thanksgiving

I woke up to the sound of Randy cooking a Cajun dish -- rice dressing -- and listening to Zydeco music... at one point he was dancing Zydeco style around the kitchen because his dressing tasted SO good!

It must have been the most peaceful dinner preparation on a holiday that I have ever experienced. The food was ready on time... I think it was all warm when we sat down to eat... The bird turned out great -- juicy and moist... The pies were great, too!

                                   My nieces & nephews made napkin rings:  
As well as a paper turkey centerpiece:





It was a fun day to spend time with our dear family who have had a rough several weeks... and to share our friendship with Bill & Mary -- long time friends and supporters -- with my sister and the kids. We laughed a lot at Mary's jokes and the kids' creativity. The girls made drawings and then bedazzled them with pretty jewels. We even had most of the dishes washed and put away by 5pm.

Happy thanksgiving to all!
