#147 Thksgiving Dinner

We had Thanksgiving dinner on Friday night at the home of Gary and Cari, another Caterpillar family in our neighborhood. They hosted us along with two other families for a traditional turkey day meal. The food was wonderful and we had a great time visiting. The only thing missing were the football games which I never care to watch anyway.

You can see above some pictures of the group. Cary and Gary have a new baby named Lincoln (named after Abe Lincoln) who is now about three months old. We all enjoyed holding and feeding Lincoln and handing the baby back to Gary when he got fussy.

You can also see Gary carving the turkey, Maria horsing around with Patty, and Kathleen working on her 40 minute gravy. The evening was capped by a card game of "Oh Heck" which Patty won handily. Cary and Gary are notorious for turning in early, so the party wrapped up around 10:30 PM and I took advantage of the early finish to catch up with the neighborhood poker game at the Jin Shui Wan clubhouse. I got there in time to enjoy a few hands and lose a few hundred RMB. All in all, a very good Thanksgiving.
