We’re just getting back into the swing of things after spending the past few days at my parents’ new house just outside of Crystal River, Florida, where temps dipped into the low 30’s! Brrrr! We spent our holiday with my family (minus a few). And we probably ate enough to last us for a solid month. Typical.
My awesome mom did most of the work, but I contributed by whipping up my “go-to” sweet potato soufflé recipe, along with a new pecan pie recipe (which was nearly a bust when the pie had trouble setting up in the oven, but after a little extra cooking time, surprisingly turned out great!). Jereme brought his DIY skills to Crystal River and helped my parents hang a bunch of artwork in their new home. We got to visit with my Grandma (who turns 90 in December!) and my Aunt Rosemary. And we laughed hysterically as Oliver schooled my nieces in a rousing game of backyard soccer (who knew Oliver was so good at batting around a soccer ball?).
Now, we’re back to reality. Thinking about taking the boat out tomorrow for a little day sail with Jereme’s parents (especially since our engine overhaul is officially complete).
Hopefully, you enjoyed an equally as wonderful and delicious Thanksgiving. Time to start thinking about Christmas season…
