Sunday's "Two Turtle Doves" exercise journal

I just received some sad news that a family friend passed away yesterday. He was one of the good guys. It's funny, I was just telling a story about him the other day. We were cooking for the first ever K of C community T'giving dinner and the local tv station came along to film. We'd just pulled a couple of the turkeys out of the oven and they were filming John as he stuck the spoon into the bird to pull out the stuffing. Well, whoever had cooked that particular turkey had left the giblets inside the bag and inside the turkey. He pulled the spoon out and Voila! There was the giblet bag! The look on his face was priceless. I ended up rolling on the floor, I was laughing so hard. Everytime I saw him after that, I'd bring it up. Yep. One of the good guys.

thanks for starting the thread pattie I am sorry to hear about your friend it sounds like you have many wonderful memories


Well I got a lot done yesterday some of it quite funny, on our way to breakfast I stopped at C/D as usual to let my buddy out I saw a different SUV in the driveway but didn't give it a second thought because I had sent him a text the day before letting him know I was picking up dog food since it was low and would be letting him out in the morning as usual. So I go in open the door to let chaos out and he ran into the family room to the outside door but made a quick stop by the couch "Hello " !!! rofl there was a person sleeping on the couch
I said "um I'm here to let the dog out" and quietly opened the door and out we went. Went back in and got him a treat put him in his crate and out I went.
lol I have a feeling the friend might of thought he had a strange dream. After we finished breakfast with a quick stop at Home Depot,walmart,pet smart & the liquor store we headed home. I had hubby drive past C/D house because if the car was gone I was going to drop off the food OMG lol there were 2 people leaving the house !!! I sent C/D a text teasing him " I know know you don't read all of my texts" which if his freind didn't remember seeing me probably confused him

So then while hubby worked in the "santa's woodshop" I got to work on the Christmas cards while listening to the game. I always print labels because my handwriting sucks , well the printer was acting up so I rebooted my computer so it would reconnect to the wireless printer oops I ended up printing 5 !! sheets of labels instead of 1 so I now have labels for the next 4 years of Christmas cards

I started a new batch of pineapple infused vodka which should be ready right around Christmas eve !!!

So all in all it was a pretty good day

lol on our way to my dental torture this morning if the red suv is gone I am going to drop the food of course that is after ringing the doorbell to make sure there are no "surprises" even though I have to admit it was a pretty nice looking surprise !!!

LOL...someone nameless gave me a rep and asked if they showed my friend pulling giblets out of the cooked turkey on the news, as it would have made a great blooper. They were kind to him and didn't show it. I guess they didn't want to discourage anyone from coming to the dinner! Thanks for the smile, whoever you were.
