The 4th Thursday of November is thanksgiving day in USA – an afternoon of cooking yesterday and up early this morning for more food making!
I sort of helped – mixed and chopped and some dishes!
Turkey ready to go in the oven, pies made, Veges cooked and that was only the half of it.
We all loaded up, folks and food, and headed to Tona and Chucks sons’ house for thanksgiving lunch!
Serving up the main course, I was wondering when the other 50 people would arrive to eat this feast!
A plate of turkey, ham, sweet potato, Mac and cheese, green bean pie, corn pie and a number of other dishes I couldn’t fit on my plate!
The hosts – Ashley and Travis and Tona.
My choice of deserts – pumpkin pie, apple pie and pecan pie! Just had to try it all! (Actually there were several more choice but just couldn’t fit on my plate or in my stomach)
So, full to the brim, a special treat was then in store for the kiwis. The Texans mostly drive big Trucks, however the two sons are ‘Mustang Men’
I was treated to some cool rides!
Travis’s ’66 Mustang 2.8L
Chris’s 2015 5L ‘Stang – there’s some power under the hood of this one!
A kiwi dream fulfilled! Well almost apart from owning one myself that is.
This day is akin to our Christmas back home, where we eat until we cannot eat anymore and then it’s family game time, before everyone falls asleep!
Here its Bocce (or as we know it pétanque) The adults circumnavigating the backyard and the kids playing on the playground!
These Kiwis (Russ and Sue) are very blessed to share this day with our Texas family!
