Paul, Judy, Snuggles
Coagulated Jello...the Pièce de résistance!**
.
Word of the DAY! confabulation***
.
Ol' Judy and her trusty hound dawg, Paul Edmund, went on the prowl Thanksgiving Day with Snuggles, our 60 pound gobbler, proudly leading the way in her lime green halter top.
.
Lordie...our festive Puritan Cavalcade landed us a meal for shure.
.
We three stood with expectant gaze on the doorstep of our frolicsome niece and nephew, Shelby and Pod. They gave us the double Hairy Eyeball stared at Snuggles and said, "Ya'll come on in now, ya hear!"

Snuggles disappeared in a cloud of feathers and ecstatic yelping amidst Pod's beagles out back.

Shelby wore Snuggles' halter top, classic black heels and fetching fuschia-pimento hot pants for a bit of Holiday Color. This ensemble showcased Shelby's Coagulated Jello to perfection! (see below)

Shades of Pocohontas!!!

My Lima Bean Dressing (yep...the Lima's and dressing all squished together in my purse) were accepted. In addition we had asparagus, sweet potato pudding, wonderful fresh, homemade rolls and coconut pie. Pod sliced into the 83 pound pork loin with the biggest, sharpest quadruple bladed electric knife ever made and tossed big shiny hunks onto each of our plates.
.
The wildly scissoring electrified knife and gobbets of pork stimulated my appetite. Boy was it all good! Paul and I scarfed up plate after plate of steamy hot home cookin'!!
.
Yes, we do depend on the kindness of strangers here 'bouts....friends and relatives too!

**Pièce de résistance is a French term (circa 1839), translated into English literally as "piece of resistance", referring to the best part or feature of something (as in a meal), a showpiece, or highlight. It can be thought of as the portion of a creation which defies (i.e. "resists") orthodox or common conventions and practices, thereby making the whole of the creation unique and special. The phrase gives the sense that the referred-to element is the defining essence of the whole, that part that makes it memorable or gives it its unique character.

***confabulation noun: A plausible but imagined memory that fills in gaps in what is remembered.

When a woman wears a leather dress, a man's heart beats quicker and his throat gets dry, he goes weak in the knees and begins to think irrationally. Ever wonder why?
She smells like a new truck...
Happy Thanksgiving! Elise

Dear Judy,
We had a great Thanksgiving. Will was able to take a break from Harvest for a late lunch. Mrs. Terry came over for a few hours and that was a wonderful thing.
Victor and Faye were here and my two babies, total delights, came also and spent the night. Cheryl and Steve were also around; we spent quite a bit of time together.
Christmas should also be good. I don't know how much Santa will bring, but we will all be together which is the most important point.
About being consigned to life on the Keester...I know a bit about that since I had a surgical "procedure" Monday and was out of commission for a few days. Unlike you I think I could get accustomed to such a life!
But, the wretched economy will not allow that now. Farming is getting a more difficult all the time for everyone now, Will included.
Anyway, get a Santa Hat and some snazzy Lederhosen for ol' Big Biscuit. Put him in some skates with LED flashing lights on them and you will have some Hot Action going! Have BB fry you a turkey in that getup and you will safely be able to evision the mud that is South Louisiana with complete equinimity.
We will be thinking of you with Christmas Lights surrounding your image like a halo!
Love,
Debra
