Pretty much sums up the day.
This morning we went on a great hike and walked about 4 miles. The crew:
(Mom was the photographer)
And a funny swimming doggie!
We came home to a wonderful late lunch of Thanksgiving leftovers.
I had a little of everything –
And made a wonderful turkey + cranberry sandwich on a roll –
Seconds on kale –
Mom wanted some pie and I said I’d help her with one bite. Here’s my one bite!
Mom and I went shopping this afternoon to Kohls and Bed, Bath & Beyond. I got a black and white shower curtain for our powder bath (after 2 years in this house we FINALLY got a curtain!) so now the home-brewed beer is covered. The whole den of our house has been transformed this weekend with the new furniture and the curtain.
I was totally pooped after my workout, hike and 2 hours more shopping on my feet but we were due at Karen’s condo at 5:30 for dinner!
I started with some Chardonnay –
Karen had out cheese and crackers. I had about 4 total throughout the evening.
Wine pour #2
Small pour #3. I keep my glasses of wine tiny so I get lots of ‘em.
For dinner Karen made chicken marsala -
And spinach + veggie salads –
I ate all of my salad plus about 2/3 of the chicken dish (I left 2 of the bigger pieces of chicken. We were served the portions so I didn’t put this much on my plate to begin with!)
My leftovers (snapped discreetly!)
Mas vino – tiny pours! Boy that’s a lotta wine!
Karen + the brothers
For dessert we had ice cream sundaes! Mine was big – But my dad’s with the grandfather of them all!
So tired – goodnight!

I love hiking so much. its such a great workout and so peaceful. that turkey sandwich looks sooooo good for some reason! simple but tasty.
What a fabulous day! Beautiful scenery and great food!
Leftovers are the BEST!
What a nice family day!
Looks like you had a fabulous day!
fun day! Love all the wine:)!
awwwww I LOVE all the family pics! It looks like you all had such a blast today!
Good company always makes the day
The rolls look exactly like the ones my aunt always makes – we call them “doughballs.” She usually makes two batches, one a bit more “done” than the other.
What a sundae! It looks fabulous. Mouth watering fabulous, at that!
your day was so packed! I’m jealous… I wouldn’t mind going for a hike.
Have a good weekend!
Kath, I really like that sheer gold blouse you’re wearing! Mind sharing where you got it?
Looks like you had a wonderful day!
I love that napkin!
A hike sounds like so much fun! I wish Houston wasn’t so flat so we could have places to hike!
Looks like you had a fun day! You look beautiful in that gold top!
I LOVE Chicken Marsala. Hers looks delicious!
As soon as I sent that comment….I decided that hes looks REALLY delicious and wanted to ask for the recipe! Do you think she would mind sharing it with us?
Great pictures! I love love love NC! My family usually spends Thanksgiving there but we weren’t able to this year and you pictures made me miss it even more! (but in a good way! lol) Great blog!
It looks + sounds like you are having a fabulous time with family!
Brendalala ,
Thanks! It’s my birthday present from Karen and she got it at LOFT.
Fancy ,
It’s really hard for me to get the recipes for stuff when I have them at other people’s houses. This was just a standard chicken marsala recipe (nothing healthy about it!) so I think any you found at MyRecipes.com would be comparable.

What photogenic families!!
Love your yellow top, it’s very cute! The rolls from Thanksgiving look seriously delicious!
You actually make it appear so easy together with your presentation but I in finding this topic to be really something that I believe I would never understand. It kind of feels too complicated and extremely wide for me. I’m looking ahead on your next post, I will attempt to get the hang of it!
