Good times were had with the fam. Ate some, watched some American-style football, played some cards. Pa locked the car keys inside the car while it was running. Delayed our departure a bit. No turkey. Pa's family are not a turkey-eating people. We're hosting the Christmas festivities this year, so maybe I can change that ( Read more... )

Brett. You must disown this part of the family that does not believe in turkey. Are they allergic to triptophan? Or are they afraid of the avian flu? Either way, tell them that they are ridiculous. Or is it "ridicoolus" in your father's case? I kid, I kid. Perhaps that was a bit harsh...

Anyway, I'm glad the Thanksgiving festivus could happen dispite locked cars. No Thanksgiving, though, will live up to the Egeler-Harger-Yoder- Grandchamp celebration of 2003. No holiday is complete without Trivial Pursuit.

Haha. I was actually thinking of that yesterday. Some how the topic of my missing a Thanksgiving came up, so I had to share the madcap adventures of the Grandchamp household.

And, Monique, if you're going to mock someone you have to be accurate; it's "ridicalus." The 'u' is replaced by an 'a' sound. I'll have to get you two together and see if I can't coax it out of him.

I miss you, too, Patty. Perhaps we can get together when you're on your semester break.

Time for a Change! singingchef November 26 2005, 19:18:49 UTC

Its official - you are moving to Saginaw with Krissy and I and then you can have turkey every day. And a live in cook - how sweet is that?

Re: Time for a Change! bretterriffic November 27 2005, 02:18:45 UTC

Oh, that's sweet. Sweet like, you know, something really sweet.

Katie, Krissy and turkey . . . that is the life.

Listen to Miss Allen. She is wise. Plus you need a change--what could be better than going from the turkey-hating, dull ways of your father to the turkey-loving, chaotic ways of the Wifeys?

PS: Move in with us and I'll buy you the 3rd Harry Potter. And let you use my discount. ;)

Ok. Harry Potter and a discount seals the deal. When should I have my bags packed?

2006: the year of the change. I knew that bribery would win in the end. When you see my u-haul comin' down the road you know your life ain't never gonna be the same.

Haha. I think you've stumbled onto a great line for a country song. Time to start your new career!
