Thanksgiving

I had a nice Thanksgiving. While I had invites from Jackie and from Kelly and his wife, I had already committed to eating with Sue Ann, Bill and his wife Marilyn at Sue Ann's house. I made a green bean casserole and also brought a bottle of wine.

The turkey and all the food turned out great and we ate lots and I was very full at the end of the day. Bill made two pies. We ate an apple/cranberry/currant pie after the meal and Bill brought Sue Ann and I each a slice of his gooseberry pie to eat the next day. Yum!

After the meal and before eating the pie we went for a walk around Sue Ann's neighborhood. It was a little chilly and even I was feeling a bit cold by the time we got back to Sue Ann's place. Poor Marilyn was cold. We warmed up with hot chocolate and tea along with a slice of pie. Sue Ann has an electric fake fireplace and a few of us stood by it for a bit when we first got back.

The neighborhood isn't fully developed as you can see in the photo. The college age son of Sue Ann's neighbor's saw a mountain lion when he went out to his car a few days earlier. The night before Thanksgiving Sue Ann thought she saw the mountain lion when she went out to toss her garbage.

While Sue Ann rents her duplex - which is nice - the rest of the houses are ritzy. Some houses go for several million dollars. The neighborhood is built in the woods around a golf course.

Some houses had really nice statues.
