Thanksgiving Pics

On a lighter note, I’m back from an extended holiday weekend with the parents and sib.

Here’s a quick pictorial recap of some of the players.

1. Because I have no pride when it comes to leftovers and because I, too, marvel at the architectural wonder of my day-after Turkey sandwiches, I let my dad take this lovely picture. The layers I’m trying to open my mouth wide enough to munch are turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, cranberries, lettuce, cheddar cheese and mayo – all on a tasty bakery roll. Delicious!
2. Next up, we have sister and I going all “What Not to Wear” on Mom by taking sample outfit pictures for her at the mall.
3. Off to Mom’s. Here’s she’s scooping chili – a delicious tomatoy concoction. Sister and I dunked half a loaf of buttered bread in the yummy juice before returning the remains of meat and beans :o)
4. Still at Mom’s. This is her fiancé Joe. Also note the tasty apple-cake pie in the background.
5. Hanging out in Auntie’s family room (that might be “rumpus room” in PA-speak), Andrea (dad’s girlfriend) and Auntie Sharon are chatting away. Auntie is looking fabulous – yet another member of the Householder clan who actually looks better as she gets older (hoping I have that gene!)
6. On the other side of the couch, that’s me, dad and sister fighting over the loungiest seat. I think dad fixed his own “red eye” on this one – he looks a bit like a pirate in the eyes.
7. Jim hiding out in the next room, beating up a pinball or two.
8. Miss Willie angry as hell over her unplanned relocation.
9. Bug playing some music on packing day.
10. And, finally, Sister engaged in her favorite part of the holidays – lounging about watching tv or otherwise relaxing.
