Thanksgiving Day + 2 = the Real One

We've had a great day - long and busy, but great. We had some many of our great family and friends with us at one time or another, plus the standard Thanksgiving dishes (which we love) - turkey and dressing, gravy, sweet potatoes, squash casserole, green bean casserole, scalloped oysters, various pickles and veggies, cranberries (sauce, relish & chutney), wine, dessert, and coffee. It's a good thing we do this only one time a year.

I do have to say that the country ham we fixed for Friday was one of the best we've ever done. It was SO tender and sweet.

I ran the dishwasher three times today. The first one was a short wash - just dessert from last night plus breakfast. But we could only get a little more than half from the big dinner today - so I ran it once, then emptied it and put the rest of the stuff in.

John and Margaret went up to the Lady Vols/UCLA game this afternoon, so they didn't get the "good stuff" until they got home about 7.

Mostly good ballgames - UT beat KY, SC beat Clemson, LSU beat Arkansas, the Lady Vols beat UCLA. Unfortunately Auburn lost and the Lady Mocs lost. Oh, well.....

I'm really tired (imagine that!) and am heading off to bed shortly. Margaret is the only one still here. The others have all gone, so they're not on the road tomorrow (the terrible travel day). They've checked in, and got home safely.
