I felt like I should take a couple and hide them around the house for later. :)
Marianna did a superb job helping me set the table.
Her napkin folding skills are truly amazing!
I thought this candle was pretty cool so included it. Maybe not very Thanksgivingish, but pretty. The rim is really cool.
And the table was groaning under all the food!
Marianna and I were busy taking pictures of it all. What a feast though, huh?!
Uh oh. Do you see what I see in that picture? Somebody was sneaking food!
Hal did a really excellent job carving the delicious turkey (You taught Jen well, Mom, she really outdid herself on this meal!)
Marianna was ready for it too, boy! She had purposely eaten very little of the appetizers and was starving. She really enjoyed the meal! Ah! Here comes food! Time to put the camera away!
Ok, ok! One last picture for you all! Doesn't this look great?!I love Thanksgiving!

Don't I look lovely in green?
As you can see and possibly guess, we went up to the Chief's Club to celebrate. Marianna wanted to make brownies and did an excellent job as they were delicious!
And, as we were having a competition with him, Joe's. I like the glasses, makes it look so goofy! Although the stitches in the cheek do add some Halloween spirit.
And finally, check out who we saw in town on Halloween!

Nah, we all ate a lot, Jen and I didn't hog it all!

One of my favorite places and things to do here in Key West is Mallory Square at Sunset. Everyone is having so much fun watching the street performers and the sunset, its just a wonderful atmosphere! We were down there a couple of days ago and had a really great time watching the Banjo Man
(for dad!), the Cool, Acrobatic Guy, and the sunset!Beautiful, huh?! Yep, Mallory Square is one of my most favorite places!

As you probably know, Marianna recently got braces! She is doing very well with them now, but at first she was having some issues. For example, when we were watching cats at Marie's, Marianna accidentally popped a wire out from the back of her mouth and it had to be fixed. Now, the orthodontist is about 140 miles away from Marie's, so it was time for Jen to try her hand at it.She actually did a really good job at it. I mean, isn't that the most comfortable dentist's chair you've ever seen? And her tool of choice? A tweezer! No drills, no picks, no nothing! I was frankly, jealous. Why can't my dentist give me that kind of luxury treatment? Shoot the last time I was there, she didn't even give me enough nummer and had to renumb me in the middle of it all! I think she should take lessons from Jen in dentistry! So anyway, back to Marianna. Needless to say, her mouth is now fine as Jen performed the operation flawlessly and Marianna is doing very well with braces. Sadly I don't have a good picture of Marianna smiling with her braces right now. Soon!

So sorry about the long silence on my blog! Finding internet down here can be tricky and I've tried for the last two days to find an accessible spot with free internet. The library has free wi-fi, but little parking because they're working on the parking lot. And of course all the street parking for the library is full up with patrons. Or was for the past two days. I was also going to try getting the internet from a restaurant/bar called Harpoon Harry's, but wouldn't you know that the city is doing road construction in that area and it is hard to get in and harder to find parking. Now why, you may ask, doesn't she just park the truck in a garage or along a quiet side street and walk or bike around? Because I happen to be carrying about a thousand dollars worth of outboard motors and tools in the back of my truck that could easily grow legs. I love my work, but I tell ya, not having a great place to keep tools, or a secure place anyway, does get old after a while! But anyway, I managed to get a parking spot in the library today! So I have internet and can post! Believe me, there will be a lot of posts because I've got a lot to catch up on! Anyway, that is the low down about why I haven't been posting.
