THE DAY AFTEW

My pawents went down to  ouw good fwiend' apawtment fow a gawgantooan, sumptoo- us meal wif good fwiends...Mommi of couwse fowgot to plug in hew battewy fow hew camewa, so all these pictoowes awe stolen fwom auntie Kawen and unkel James(thank you!)


the tuwkey was done to pawfection, thewe was the most delicious stuffing that was passed down fwom Kawen S's family, woasted vegebals fwom the gween mawket, the stuff that my pawents bwought that you saw in the last post, smooched potatoes and gwavy ..ouw favowitest champagne, and nevew ending flow of dwy wed wine, gweat convewsation and lots of laughs

the table setting was bootimous, the table cloth full of pomegwanites and sheaves of wheat
 Evewyone took a modest pawtion(BOL)

 by the time they got to dessewt (punkin Pie, souwcweam-Apple Pie and Daddi's home made Peacan Pie) they wewe too tiwed to take pictoowes
luckily, I managed to take a photo of the most scwumptious pie Daddi made..we 've nevew had one this good..twooly the best wecipe we've evew found

and of couwse they all got silly and had a most wondewful time

meantime, Duffy and I took my Vespa and wan ovew to Scwuffy , Lacie and baby Stan's house fow a game of pokew..let's just say, I should not have let Duffy bet, hehehe
We snuck back in the eawlie houws of the mowning..I don't think Mmommi and Daddi noticed cause they wewe in a food coma, heheheheheehe

This is what we plan to do today..no shopping fow us..we think it's a stoopid twadition..
(even when we had $ to shop we nevew did this)
 no one needs anything badly enuff to spend the night in line shivewing and getting twampled instead of spending quality time wif youw loved ones





Hope all of you awe safe and happy wif full tummies and awe wemembewing fwiends who need ouw pawsitive enewgy and good wishes

Miss Asta! That was quite the feast. Yes, today is a good day to just rest and stay safe at home away from the crazy shoppers.

Quality time with loved ones is the most precious thing, I so agree, dearAsta.

Great pix Asta (anything with you or foodables is a hit, really)! And that pai made Mom drool. We think you're making a good choice to ignore that strange shopping trends. We thinks the material shopping trends are bad enough the rest of the year. Love and cuddly dogs are what matters.

Martha said...

What a wonderful meal that looked Asta, we like the idea of a food coma!
Thanks for thinking of Bailey - we haven't even had a chance to post about her being ill - it was so quick!
Hopefully she will start eating tomorrow and start getting her energy back!
You know we have never had pumpkin pie and it looks delicious.
Much love
Martha and Bailey xx

You look so comfy there, Asta - bet you had a great nap. We kept the humans home today too - no sense in rushing all around with all those peeps in the stores. Besides it was a great day for a long walk for us.

That pie looks so scrumptious - bet there wasn't a crumb left.

Peacan Pie....YUM. It looks divine!
The entire meal looks divine. What a feast. Too bad we dont celebrate Thanksgiving. We'll have to wait until Christmas time.
We have never heard of the tradition of shopping the following day. Cripes, we dont think we could move for days after a big meal like that. Agree, silly tradition!

Happy birthday Auntie Ami.
Love from Noah Willow Tess & Lucy

Hi Asta, your daddi's pecan pie looks so wonderful. our human is drooling - hee hee! we didn't get pie, but we had a nice day at home.

the human doesn't believe in shopping either. we have lots of toys and plenty of tennis balls.

we are pawing for all of our friends. we are always positive and happy and hopeful, but the human is sad. oh well, what can we do?

woofs.

Glad you got to get away while the folks did their thing for Thanksgiving! Looks everyone had a fun time.

TwoSpecialWires said...

Sweet Sissie Asta. We've dropped by a coupla times, but not until just now did we have a chance to put our paws to the keyboard. NinaGirl is on her way back to school and life is sorta resuming what was normal. Whatever that is. Normal.

We can tell you all had a good weekend ... that's as it should be. Family. Friends. Fun. Full tummies. Fantabulous celebrations. We hope this next week is a really nice relaxing one for you, full of memories of a great week of good stuff.

We love you. And we sure thought about you a lot on Thanksgiving and on Auntie Ami's birthday.

xxoo
