The Blur

So what is this Blur?

The Fuzz saw it (kinda) at our Thanksgiving Feast.
This thing was moving pretty fast.
But eventually it did slow down enough for The Fuzz to snatch a quick pix.It looks fairly harmless at this point.
But don't let that fool you, these things can be dangerous!

Thanksgiving 2011

Since the Young'uns ain't so young anymore, The Fuzz and His Sweetie are off the hook for a lot of Holidays.

This year we gathered at that Schoolteacher Daughter's home for our Family Thanksgiving Meal. Cooking was a community effort. Here is a look at the gravy being double teamed.It looks pretty good.

But disaster is about to strike. That crispy, and tasty skin is just too much temptation.
The Fuzz caught them in the very act!

And the onslaught continues!
Our helpless bird doesn't stand a chance.
In no time the poor thing has been reduced to this!

And this was only the beginning.The next assault was by a man with a large knife!
The Fuzz decided to spare his readers any sight of the resulting gore.
We all sat down to a delicious meal, truly a "Thanksgiving Dinner that couldn't be beat".
The Fuzz hopes yours was just as great.

Thanksgiving Morning

And just a wee bit damp.

Danger!

Danger!
Check it it out for your own safety.

"An estimated 2,000 fires occur each on Thanksgiving in the United States, resulting in an average of five deaths, 25 injuries and $21 million in property loss each year, said the agency, an entity of the Department of Homeland Security's Federal Emergency Management Agency."

And...

"...Keep an all-purpose fire extinguisher nearby..."

Foggy Morning

Thanksgiving morning started with a bit of fog.We were headed off to Thanksgiving Dinner later in the day at the home of the Local Daughter and that Culinary Son-in-Law. But in the meantime, there were a few things to take care of at home. The Fuzz's Sweetie was fixing up some dressing to go with the turkey, and some veggies for a salad.
When we arrived, we were greeted with these munchie nuggets.
There were lots of yummy sausage balls and what seems to be some sort of American Sushi.There didn't seem to be any of that seaweed or raw fish but they were tasty.
There was also a curious device with a red knob on top. When one mashed that little red knob, one was rewarded with a shot of mezcal (but no worm) in one of the little tiny glasses. This became a popular feature.
We could post a pix of the turkey here, but most folks already know what that looks like anyway, so just use your imagination.
We were joined by the in-law folks, and had a great dinner. It must be confessed that we ended up spending the night there, as it didn't seem wise to try and drive home at the time.
Well, that's it for our Thanksgiving Day with The Fuzz and all the rest. Tomorrow, it's the
Dentist!

So let's hope for the best.

Welcoming Committee

These guys are always glad to see us when we come home from a trip. It would be nice to think they missed us, but it's probably their dinner they missed.
Their Dining Room is on top of this stack of bricks to be safe from their Canine Competitors. That Long Little Doggy is excessively fond of Kittie Krunchies, and pretty good at getting to them.
We have a lot to be thankful for this year including our new home in the woods. Today, we plan to visit the Local Daughter and that Culinary Son-in-Law for a Thanksgiving feast. It should be great.

Happy Thanksgiving to all.

A Fuzzy Thanksgiving 2007

It was off to the Big City again. There are a number of Big Cities we visit from time to time. This time, to visit Big City Artist Daughter and meet more of the family for Thanksgiving Dinner.Here is some of the Feast before the Feeding Frenzy. You don't see the people yet. Some, of course, couldn't make it, so there were only 11.
You also don't see the Guest of honor, that Big Turkey himself. Here he is getting ready.
He was joined by his friend, who was welcome enough, even though he is a bit of a Ham. He is not in the picture either. But we enjoyed them both along with many other Yummies.
There was wine and good conversation, and we were very thankful for all these blessings and more, they are all just the mercies of God.
After the Feeding Frenzy, we all took a walk in the Big City to let things settle down a bit.
At a nearby park, The Fuzz saw this sign. It seems the Very Vegetarian Society has taken on the responsibility for keeping this park cleaned up. This is really big of them. But, The Fuzz couldn't help wondering what sort of Feeding Frenzy they had had on this special day.
We enjoyed our walk, and then, it was back to the house, for pie, coffee and all that good stuff. As night fell, so did the temperature, and Big City Son in Law lit a fire in this spiffy Fire On The Deck Thing, so those so inclined could warm up their butts in the old fashioned way.
We spent the night there in the Big City, and headed home the next morning.
It was a most excellent time, and many thanks to Big City Daughter and Son in Law. Mucho Gracias.
