And That's a Rap. Beautiful Food, Beautiful Day, Beautiful Holiday with Friend and Family. Worth Every Second, But Exhausting

I am sparing the detailed photos, so offer an empty table before the chaos began. The turkey was superb, the Brussel sprouts fantastic, the squash out of this world, the potatoes spectacular, the breads freshly baked, and the desserts good enough for seconds. 

All served by 3 pm. The eating continued until 10 p.m, with football outside, cleanups, Ted Lasso, NFL, and lots of conversation. 

And Karal. Who knows how she has an ounce of energy as she was non-stop play mode and aggressive from 6:30 a.m. yesterday and 11 pm last night. 

The table looks so calm here. Alas, it was loaded with food, loaded with drinks, loaded with conversation, and loaded with a dog under the table wanting all the attention. Actually, two dogs wanting treats and attention. 

But now, I'm off on an adventure. Not sure what will come of it it, but we're hitting the road this morning and will likely be in DC tonight for a quick get-away with an ol' friend. 

Food delicious. Perfection, actually, but now time for something new. 

Happy, Friday.
