Well, this year was quite an interesting Thanksgiving :) We left on Tuesday afternoon and fortunately when we arrived the house was ready. The toilet in the master leaked about a month ago and Honey & Papa arrived one weekend to a flooded house! Hardwoods, ceilings, floorboards, molding, carpet...ruined. But, all is well now - gotta love insurance :)
On Thanksgiving Eve, Chris and I woke up to a "smokey" smell. We went downstairs & couldn't figure out where the smoke was coming from. We then noticed that the power was out...weird!? Long story short, come to find out, a drunk driver hit a power pole while trying to pass someone and cut all the power off to the island. We were the last house on the island to have it restored and were out of power for 12 HOURS on Thanksgiving day...so much for cooking! Mom had ordered TONS of delicious food from Harpins - we ate around 4 pm. We kept getting teased b/c the power would come on for about one minute & then go off. We took the turkey out of the frig & put it on the backporch to keep it cool...I put the dogs on the porch forgetting the turkey was out there and you can imagine the end to that story...Happy Thanksgiving, Dogs! Chris & I saw the GA Power truck out of the window & ran down the street to tell him we still didn't have power :) Nini & the Roux's joined us for dinner. The rest of the week was full of LG throwing up, golf, shopping, river street, the wii, beach, house hunting, no hot water & showering at the pos. Oh, and don't forget Umberta from Germany...we definitely made some memories!
