Thanksgiving, 2013

I really stink at taking "selfies!"

We had a pretty quiet day for Thanksgiving this year, the Koenig's were in Houston with Jeff's family, and the JR Forsythe's were in California hosting Ashley's Dad and sister, so John and I were on our own.  We're having our Thanksgiving meal on Sunday this year, so for the actual day we took a drive through the hill country for several hours.

A white llama who didn't care at all that he was getting his picture taken.

I was hoping to see a lot of fall trees, but they've already started turning brown up the way we went.  We went through Sisterdale, Comfort, Fredricksburg, and several other little towns up that way. Have you ever been by Bell Mountain? There's a little community called Willow City there and a winery that we passed by.  We're going to have to try their wines (sounds like they make some reds and reislings) if we can find them anywhere.

That evening John made the best smoked pork chops that he's ever made -- oh my! So good. He's really getting good at using that new smoker of his.

Sunday I'll have more "Thanksgivingy" Thanksgiving photos...we're frying a turkey. Oh boy!
