Look like Longhorns to me, too, maybe before Texans took possession of them? Enjoyed young neighbors unexpectedly sharing a portion of the dinner they were leaving town with for a long holiday with their older family members when they learned I had returned home the night before Thanksgiving following my having experienced an unplanned medical issue. Truly gave meaning to Thanksgiving for me with the food much better than the backup rations for such situations that I would have retrieved from my freezer. Then, resting through the day periodically texting and talking with my midwest and east coast children, grandchildren, especially 5 yr old was the dessert. joaredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09999395062839739698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-626594980028435818.post-87556775802261467902016-11-28T14:29:55.304-05:002016-11-28T14:29:55.304-05:00Gee, Tom, the cows look like Texas longhorns to me...Gee, Tom, the cows look like Texas longhorns to me, but that's impossible.Snowbrushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00436087215476479042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-626594980028435818.post-41349871251835579312016-11-28T11:04:45.396-05:002016-11-28T11:04:45.396-05:00Hi Tom!

It sounds to be like you and B had an interesting day. Thom and I and another couple went to Baja California just south of San Diego. We had a beautiful oceanfront breakfast, played 18 holes of golf and then went to dinner at a local restaurant in Rosarito. We all had a great time and it helped that it was crystal clear blue skies and 80 degrees! I believe we all have much to be grateful for! ~KathyKathy @ SMART Living 365.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12392736262783641661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-626594980028435818.post-76431286701753435062016-11-27T22:10:04.792-05:002016-11-27T22:10:04.792-05:00Being Canadian, we had our Thanksgiving weeks ago,...Being Canadian, we had our Thanksgiving weeks ago, so no feast this weekend!

The only one open was a Chinese restaurant. So Chinese it was ... and I still have a great memory of that evening!Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08611148987085476580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-626594980028435818.post-16477260936932509882016-11-27T11:00:18.115-05:002016-11-27T11:00:18.115-05:00This looks like a fascinating place to visit and i...This looks like a fascinating place to visit and immerse oneself in history.stephen Hayeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17659054447637207734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-626594980028435818.post-46771675113440391792016-11-27T09:38:04.498-05:002016-11-27T09:38:04.498-05:00We're preparing to move to a "family comp...We're preparing to move to a "family compound"(2 houses, one property) with the kids and g'kids 200 miles away. Everybody is exhausted from packing, and nobody was inclined to make the drive either way. So my husband, brother and I went to Jack in the Box. I brought a Thanksgiving tablecloth, napkins and paper plates, and we had a great time! <br /><br />This is a sort-of family tradition. We did this once years ago when my parents were still with us. A bigger group, but everybody enjoyed the whimsy and it was one for the memory books!<br /><br />No cleanup, no leftovers hanging around for days.
