I guess they call today Black Friday as years ago the slaves were sold on this day for half price. My Mom shared this with us yesterday, who knew? Anyhow no shopping spree for us. Today we’ll be cleaning and having our own Thanksgiving. We have a 13 pound turkey, mashed potato’s and homemade gravy, with Aunt Myrna’s recipe, (Lori has a video) and all the other things that go with the big meal. She also woke up early to make some new kind of appetizers she thinks the boys will like. Throw in a big salad, which is always her favorite, and we should be able to eat off this for a few days. My wife is pretty darn amazing to do all she does. The boys and I sure are lucky guys, plus she’s cute too!
Yesterday we dropped the boys at Grandma’s when we made it to Denver and headed over to get the last few things out of the house and garage. I called the young couple who bought the house and they showed up with a trailer and three little kids and began unloading things into their new house. Today James will pick up any remaining things from the garage as we filled our truck with as much as we could. The truck is still loaded as we need to clean out things we already have in the house before we can bring anything else in. After that we stopped by Tom and Ali’s for a quick meal before heading up the hill as it was snowing hard. We also needed to run as Mojo was in his house in the garage waiting for us. Jagger said a nice prayer before our meal wishing everyone good health and a long life. It was snowing hard but by the time we made it to Idaho Springs, which is about 20 minutes of out Denver, the snow stopped and the roads were dry. It started snowing again on Vail Pass but that was it.
Today seems like a Saturday but we’re glad it’s Friday as we sure need the extra day around here. It was good to see my Mom as always and I’m sorry for her that her beloved Green Bay Packers lost last night but the tribute to Brett Farve at halftime was nice. I have to get back to Denver, one more time (uggh) to pick up Lori’s car which is ready. I need to look at my calendar and should run down and back this morning to exchange the rental car but will probably wait until Monday. I’m in Aspen Tuesday and have a big event next Wednesday here in Vail and then on Friday Lori and I go to Las Vegas until Sunday with Andrea Bocelli for a big event. Then I should be done traveling until January.
That’s it, time to run, hope all is well as always. Grandma Dix is still living the high life in L.A. and went to Thanksgiving at some swanky house with Auntie Kristin. I should have sent Lori out there to join them! But of course she didn’t want to leave us boys alone as she’s all about our family. God Bless.
