11/24 Post-gluttony

We didn't tell our guests about the loss in our family, so we did manage to have a good time. Beata and I cooked for a cast of thousands and ultimately only two guys showed up. This is a new phenomenon for Rob and Beata as they usually have a houseful. Anyway, Steve and Troy were both good eaters and the feast was superb.

After our meal (at least the first round), we played poker. Because neither one of the guys had ever played before, naturally they got lucky and were the last players with Rob. Rob ended up winning the entire pot, so that was good. At least we kept it in the family. :)

Today the sun is shining, the air is crisp, and it's such a beautiful morning. I'll need to get my laundry done today. Rob and Beata will take me to the Raleigh airport tomorrow afternoon for my trip to Chicago.

Mom, thank you for helping me with all the cooking. You did such awesome job with those delicious dishes you've cooked. This Thanksgiving was much easier for me since I had someone to help me. :-) We had such a nice time with the guys. Unfortunately we lost in poker, two blonds, but Rob saved the family name! :-)
It was a nice day, but we did kept thinking about Katey.
