November 28, 2013---Brent’s in Brandon, Mississippi


Happy Thanksgiving to all of you and Happy Birthday to Matthew!

Coleson and Sara were at the lake with Dee and Jojo, their other grandparents, for Thanksgiving dinner and to celebrate Coleson’s birthday.  Brent fixed a good breakfast...biscuits, gravy, eggs, and sausage.  It was a very leisurely morning.

He made his famous (in this neighborhood) cauliflower and cheese casserole to take to Pito and Polly’s.  At 3:00, we went to their house for dinner.  Not only did they have a turkey with all the trimmings, but also on the menu was Brussel sprouts, deviled eggs, and dolmas.

I had never eaten dolmas before, but liked them very much.  They are a Greek dish made from a mixture of ground beef, rice, and spices, wrapped in grape leaves, covered with water, and baked for two hours.  Hm-m-m!  Very interesting.

There were several desserts, but we were so full that neither Brent nor I partook.  We left to get Sara and Coleson at Keltie’s apartment.

I was really tired and cold when we got back to Brent’s house, so I wrapped in my “mink” blanket and took a long nap.  When I got up, the Mississippi State/Old Miss game was just starting the second half.  State won in overtime!  That’s the team everyone in this household seemed to favor.

There were several other games we watched parts of, but nothing of special interest.
