Thanksgiving Feast

Today we have our turkey and all the fixings. Because we are going to the annual Detroit Lions Thanksgiving Day football game tomorrow, against the Packers, we have been having our big meal the day before. That way Kathy can enjoy the game and not be concerned about the bird burning or splashing grease around the oven.

Brenda arrived last Friday evening for a week visit. She went with us Sunday to the Lions-Giants game, one that disappointed us. The Lions did not show consistent play, too many dropped passes (unusual this season at home), and breakdowns on kick coverage (that is consistent over the course of the season). We had breakfast at Detroit Breakfast Grill (co-owned by Robert Porcher) on Woodward between the river and Grand Circus Park. Excellent food, service, and atmosphere. Dinner on the way home at Champs Sports Grill though our first choice was Joe's Crabshack which we found to be closed permanently.

Kathy and Brenda have done their share of shopping and crafting and left me here--not disappointing--to finish up leaf collection. Our two large maple trees in front dropped their leaves over the weekend, later than usual, and needed to be picked up before rain and snow predicted for today and tomorrow.

Gobble, gobble. Time to eat.
