High Handed
We took a day trip up to Utah today with the Mexicans. We drove up to the Mountain Meadows Massacre site. Sobering and Sickening. Then back to St George. We had to pick up a new mic stand we had ordered. Then we went to Walmart and bought some poker chips and came home and played Texas hold em.
The Mexican ended up winning over all but Big Daddy had an amazing hand. Now if someone told me this story, I would call them a big fat fibber, but I swear this happened.
When the first 2 cards were dealt, Cliff said "I am not even going to look at my cards" The first 3 cards out were the 10 of spades. the king of spades, 5 of diamonds. Then the flop was ace of spades and the river was the jack of spades. Cliff said " I know I have the Queen of spades in my hand". We all just laughed, remember he had not looked at his hand well I will be damned, he had it! A royal flush in spades.I bet we never see that again and without even looking at the cards! Cool!!
Now everyone has gone home and it's quiet again, Oh yes we put up the first of our Christmas decorations, our little Nascar tree in the office. It looks so cool. We got a few new ornaments for it this year. Little mini Jeff Gordon pit crew guys Sweet

Behold the Gay Indians
Happy Thanksgiving!! As you can see, we went for a Gay Indian Theme this year. Big Daddy and I decided that we would make Indian feathers (like when we were in grade school) and everyone had to wear them to eat dinner.
The funny thing was, none of our crew even thought it was odd. Everyone just put on their feathers and we pigged out. As you can see, Big Daddy was the Indian Chief so he had a war bonnet head dress which we spent a great deal of time crafting. It had to be very elaborate to reflect his high stature and important standing with the tribe. I, as head squaw, had a few extra feathers in my head dress and then it went down hill from there. Pretty funny and we had a blast.
For anyone who doesn't know, the guy with Teddi ,is Marty, her new boy friend. He's a keeper and didn't even blink about putting on the gay Indian attire. We knew he was all right, when we explained that we were celebrating "Happy Let's Screw the Indians and Take their Land Day." and he just nodded and put on his feathers!! Entrance into this tribe can be intimidating at the least but Marty has proved his bravery by taking Teddi firmly in hand (that little squaw needs a spanking once in a while) and loving our little papoose Oli Butt.
Well now everyone has gone to Cha & Leo's to spend the night and Big Daddy and I have decided that THAT is what we are most thankful for!! We love em' all so much, bit silence is still golden, and these tribal councils can be exhausting. Love you guys!!!

Thanksgiving Eve
Well I got up early and put the turkey in the brine. This is the first year I have used a brine and I hope it's good. My all accounts it's the only way to go. We'll see. Made the cranberry relish, boiled eggs for deviled eggs. Now tonight I am going to make the chicken and homemade noodles, pies, and dressing. Then it will be a snap tomorrow. Ted & Marty will be here about 2:30 and then we can pig out.
Cha Cha and Gabbi have been sick I hope they feel better tomorrow. I told them to come over for brunch so she won't have to cook at all tomorrow. It is raining and has been since about 9:00 this morning. Suppose to be tomorrow too. Yeah, it's fall.

Foiled
Well, Nanny and I got up to walk this morning but we didn't make it too far. She had been sick to her tummy all night and was a trooper to even try to walk. We only got about a 1/4 mile when she got so sick and hurled. So much for that. Back home we went and I got some house work done. If she feels better we will try again tonight.
Poor baby Gouda is sick. I think she has allergies. She coughs all the time poor baby ; especially at night. Cha took her to the Pediatrician (who I think is a nit wit and who knows how to do Nada but refer you to a specialist.. nice , since the kids have no insurance)She is taking her to another DR today and we will see what they say.
Well, today is Cliff's last day at work so things should get dicey from this point till after the new year, but hey it keeps life interesting!! Getting ready for Thanksgiving and looking forward to it. Can't wait to decorate and get ready for Christmas. Clifford has made me swear that I will wait till the first weekend in Dec, but I want it done for Oli's birthday on Dec 4. I know since it's for Sweet Baby Oli he will give in. He is a push over for the babies. All she has to do is say, "Dad Dad and run give him a hug and it's all over.

Play and Pay
We went to see Randy Linder in a Credence Clearwater tribute band last night at the Eureka. We only went cause we had free tickets but boy was he great. This guy can play the guitar like none other; just smoking. His voice was a dead ringer for John Fogerty also. We really enjoyed it.
Had dinner at Gregory's ; Chateaubriand for two. Wonderful. All during dinner Cliff kept singing " Don't feel bad if you see me out with painted women, but if I need a lady I'll call you" Maybe I wore a touch too much makeup........................
Played the penny slots for a while at the Eureka then went over to the Virgin River and listened to the band there. A real let down after Randy Linder. They were OK but their sound was so out of balance it sucked. All you could hear was rhythm guitar and drums. The lead guitar, bass, and the lead singer you could not hear at all. It was weird. Plus the chick singer was a crack up. She was all over the place and if you could shake it, she could play it. Sometimes two tambourines and a little set of chimes at the same time. It was kind of funny. She could sing but you couldn't hear her so it wasn't that enjoyable, just funny watching her sing and it was like no sound was coming out then working all her hand instruments like a wild woman, kind of surreal.
All the usual suspects were there and as funny as ever. Cliff gives them all nicknames it's so funny. There is Mr. Alan Jackson wanna be( except he is about as short as a midget), Franko the Mexican dance man, Grandpa Money Bags and his hot mama (they bring a younger guy for her to dance with while the old husband sits and watches), Old Skeezer Cliff calls Queenie (for Queen of the Silver Dollar),the little short fat chick Cliff calls Pork Rind and her new boy friend who's name I cannot convey in mixed company, Ken the Rico Suave cowboy who dances all the girls. So funny to watch all the players. We got home about 2:00 am and I slept till 8.
We ran to St. George today, washed the car, Cha and I walked pushing the Gouda up and down hills till my butt cheeks hurt. Glad the day is almost over.
