We had a wonderful Thanksgiving with my Aunt Happy. She continues to amaze me. We went to Black Angus which is her favorite restaurant (or used to be). She wanted a steak because they were serving a turkey dinner at her senior living residence that evening. I had rosemary chicken and Jim had a steak sandwich. The company was wonderful, but the food was lousy. Have to find another place to go the next time we go out.
After dinner we went back to Happy’s apartment where she had some old newspaper clippings about my Dad and also some of her adventures. Happy was a world traveler in her day. She went on a 33 day around the world trip on the Concorde back in the 80’s. It’s fascinating to listen to her talk about China, Red Square in Moscow, the Nile in Egypt, the animals in Africa, the theater in London. She has cruised to Alaska, up the Mississippi and down the Amazon. So many wonderful stories.
And look what Jim brought home.
Fish in my freezer is a good thing.
I had thought we would fix our turkey dinner on Friday but the park was having turkey and bean soups with leftovers Friday evening so we joined in. Today I am fixing our Thanksgiving dinner.
Turkey is good any day.
ReplyDeleteNice catch, Jim!
ReplyDeleteWhat a neat lady...I think you take after her Sandie!
ReplyDeleteI love turkey any time. Love dressing and cranberry too. Also noodles. Mashed potato's Oh and Sweet potato's
ReplyDeleteI would have been disappointed too if I ordered a nice steak and it wasn't good.Sounds like you have a never ending supply of turkey. Be safe out there Sam & Donna....
ReplyDeleteA fish, a fish, wa hoo!
ReplyDeleteSuch a great picture of you guys, I stole it.
yum....fresh fish filet! Sounds like a winner. When is the fish fry?
ReplyDeleteNice to see all that time spent fishing actually resulted in a keeper! ;c)
ReplyDeleteSandie, That pic of you and Jim with Aunt Happy is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteYour Aunt has certainly seen the world! Glad Jim has broken the fish-less curse:)
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, congratulations to Jim on the fish! I still say he should have cooked it for Thanksgiving!!
ReplyDeleteWe visited the same Black Angus a couple weeks before you invited us to go to Thanksgiving there with you. We felt the same way. The steak was thin and tasteless. The price? Well, it was way too steep for what we got.
Oh how proud we are of you Jim. What a BIG one.
ReplyDeleteThat is a great picture of the three of you. If that is Aunt Happy's favorite restaurant, how did she think the meal was?
a keeper!!.yeah for Jim!!!
ReplyDeleteAtta boy Jim now your not skunked on the fishing front........
ReplyDeleteLove to read about your Aunt Happy. Amazing lady.
ReplyDeleteAunt Happy sounds like a fascinating woman - her stories must be wonderful. She sure lived her life well. Nice photo of the 3 of you.
ReplyDeleteI would love to meet Happy! Just her name makes me smile...love your car story!. Kind of happened like that when we sold a house. A guy comes clumping along the porch dressed to the ones..lol...but we were nice and gave him the whole tour! He bought it right then and there...no haggling...paid cash!...My husband and I still laugh about that to this day! and learned our lesson for ever more!
ReplyDeleteHey, good looking catch!
