hope all enjoyed a good thanksgiving. chuck & betsy arrived at the beach yesterday afternoon, along with their trusty companions, maggie & callie (the brown girls). they came bearing gifts- to wit- a venison tenderloin from one of chuck's successful hunting trips. betsy can cook like no one's business & the tenderloin was so yummy- she roasted garlic & crushed it for spreading & added bacon bits, as well grilling it with a black pepper rub- it just melted in your mouth. i had made mashed sweet potatoes yesterday-they were even better today. donna said they were like dessert (lots of cinnamon) & casually asked how much butter i used- the answer was three sticks. we decided to rename the dish butter with sweet potatoes. at any rate, it was an incredible meal & so nice to continue our tradition of enjoying the weekend after thanksgiving with the six of us.
it's been a very relaxing week. here is a picture of the boys on their macs (well, chuck borrowed mine) doing various tasks- chuck is researching what size sailboat we should rent for our planned sailing trip next november.here is donna working on making christmas cards- samples follow. some of them are three dimensional- very cool.
and here is the sadiedog & callie making nice.
& i finished my green sweater- here is donna modeling it. i'm pretty happy with it. it came out well & i like the cabling.
if i can be permitted one last photo, here is an item from the pages of glamour magazine. do you remember the last page of the magazine? they showed photos of women on the street earning either fashion citations or fashion commendations. here is somewhere we saw walking around the beach- definitely a fashion don't!! where do we start- don't leave the house without tending to your hair. & some clothes are not meant for outside the house- this is beyond casual. there may be some stains on her shirt.
hopefully, she will soon get a clue & clean up her act.
well, that's it from the outer banks of north carolina for friday. hope everyone enjoyed their leftovers. tomorrow's post may be a shopping one- some unusual ideas & objects i've found.
