A THANKSGIVING FEAST-THE BEST IN YEARS!!

Nov. 27th
Thanksgiving day! Yippeee!
We get up and get out of the house pretty early. We have a couple of stops,then pick up Mum-head to Manor. Oh, bye the way-this will be the THIRD SLEEPOVER for Mum and Mike and I. Mike has made Rumaki-I have made the cranberries. I still think of my former(legally) sister-in-law, Sandy, everytime I make cranberries. We always would call each other when we were doing then. Happy Thanksgiving Sandy!
so, we get to Don and Sheila's-the dogs are all excited-including Ginger. They all want to meet each other. Don and Sheila raise and train and breed-Austrailian Shepards-they have puppies all over this world!
Don has made some delicious appetizers-we are not going to go hungry here!
Everything is so good-and the day is perfect.
We are getting to see Easy-one of the best doggies- work with the ducks and sheep. He is amazing-it is fun to see the dog work,and to see the ducks and sheep talk about Easy when they are back in their respective pens. Now it time for Ginger to have a turn! well, she had a blast working with the ducks-they obeyed her-and were so cute. The ducks get points for being so well mannered. next-the sheep. I love-ed the sheep,watching them in their pens-all walking together and chatting. Well, the sheep did not think Ginger was so cute-one of them let her know they were so not going to behave for her-and after a few pokes from the male sheep-we got the heck out of dodge! It was fun to see Ginger with the animals-Sheila really has a good hand on what goes on "at the Hall ranch".
Dinner was perfect-a very traditional,perfect in every way feast. Don worked so hard to make everything so good-he is a great chef-and did it in less time and with less mess than anyone else I am related to! Don-you are a star!
We had fabulous home-made rice pudding with whipped cream for dessert-a perfect ending to a perfect day. Thanks Don and Sheila-and also all of the puppies that made the day so much fun. To the ducks-thank you! to the sheep-Baaaaaaad! To the horses-I know you did not really want to bite my ear. Merlin and Easy-I love you!
