(I'm playing catch up so bear with me please as I go from the past to the present)
Thanksgiving week was Heavan! For one, I got the whole week off of work in conjunction with the kids being out of school. It was fun to get ready for the upcoming Holiday season in a restful manner if that was at all possible. We hosted Thanksgiving lunch here at our house and everyone that joined us had a wonderful time.

Anne Craig and her yummy Thanksgiving lunch of deli turkey and rolls. She wanted nothing to do with the smoked yummy turkey that the rest of us were having. She made the Thanksgiving meal placecards for everyone out of seashells into turkey goblers.

The deer hunters had some big time luck this hunting season thus far and it was just getting started. Grandaddy had some major luck and monster slays. That's a BIG buck Big Floyd!
The day after Thanksgiving all of the Melton/Butler family girls and cousins attended a "Lunch and Learn" at the Viking Cooking School. You basically go and attend a class type setting and watch as their wonderful chef's prepare your meal and serve your courses. They talk you through what they are doing and then give you the recipes when you leave. The cook that I am NOT really did in fact enjoy this. This was a first for us but may in fact have to be an annual tradition. It was a good opportunity to get together before everyone split off as rivals for the Ole Miss/State Game. Yes, I had my red on!
