Thankful

Our first Thanksgiving in Eufaula was a wonderful day. We invited a few people over who were in similar situation to us and ate ourselves silly. I must admit, however, that I didn't cook. The oven in our rental home is broken; it takes almost an hour to cook a frozen pizza. Thus, we ordered a 12 pound turkey and all the fixings from one of our local grocery stores, the Winn Dixie.

Later in the evening, after our company had left, we walked down to a new friend's home to share in their annual Thanksgiving tradition: a low country boil. Basically, a low country boil consists of sausage, potatoes, shrimp, and ears of corn all boiled together in an enormous pot in the backyard. We talked, sat by the bonfire and made new friends.

Here are a few photos from the day.

I had fun setting the table!Our guests: Robert and Lynn Murphy; Van Smith
