After the Party's Over


by Susan

I'm usually exhausted after the party is over....this time the party was Thanksgiving at the King's.   I was exhausted by Saturday, but pleased with the way my dinner turned out on Thursday and the fun we all had.   I think my children and grandchildren thoroughly enjoyed their time here.   I really enjoyed having all of them.   I'm rested today and starting to plan the next party which will be Christmas at the King's.

I had a few minor mishaps while preparing the dinner but all turned out well.  My daughter was ill so my husband was my right hand in the kitchen this year.  We ate dinner and visited for nearly two hours.   Some of us took a walk after dinner since it was a beautiful day here in the Ozarks.  One of my sons joined us while the other two and their dad reclined in their easy chairs and chuckled about us , harassing my youngest son for joining us. 

We all ate leftovers on Friday evening and now the food and the family are gone.  My only grandson was able to come for leftovers on Friday and  was amazed that I still had pumpkin pie left.  I told him I made two pumpkin pies this year.  I also made brownies.....a favorite of all my kids and an apple cake, which was a big success.   

Saturday morning at 4:00 a.m. my oldest son and I were playing our traditional game of Scrabble before he had to catch his plane to head back home.   Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers as he heads to Iraq in about two weeks.

    It sounds like you had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Your apple cake sounds really neat. Can you post the recipe one day?

    Our Thanksgiving was a success. I was able to get all of the food to the table at the same time and everything was still hot. That is an art that I'm usually not good at.

    Thank you for sharing your Thanksgiving experience!!

    I agree with you.   Getting all the food done and on the table while still hot is an art.   I think it's the hardest thing about making a large dinner.   Thank you for your encouraging comment.   Susan
