Tday minus one

Our new tradition of Oysters and Wine on Thanksgiving was a big success. The weather was perfect for hanging out on the patio, grilling oysters Rockefeller, drinking wine, listening to music and enjoying the company of friends and neighbors. The grilled Oysters Rockefeller was a bit of an experiment. It came out smashingly well. I am trying to get Martha to write it up and send it in to Southern Living. Maybe we could win a contest or something.

Did some Christmas shopping yesterday. Looking for some gifts for Juju and Bear. Took Adam and Camille with me. Martha was at work. The crowds were not bad at all, I guess that's not a good thing.

Adam's Godparent Eddie and his wife Lauren dropped by unexpectedly. It was really great to catch up and hang out with them. They are very positive people and we could always use a little dose of that. We watched the LSU/Arkansas game. Eddie and Lauren are big LSU fans. Sorry guys: 31/30 Arkansas.

Today of course is the Iron Bowl, Alabama v. Auburn. Roll tide roll.


We are taking Camille to see Santa today. I tried yesterday, but she gets a little nervous around the big red guy. Maybe Martha can coax her into it today.
