THANKSGIVING 2014 WITH BILL, JIM AND CHRIS @ BILL'S IN CLEVELAND, OH

My dear friend, Bill, came to Sylvania and took me back to his home in Cleveland so I could spend
Thanksgiving with him, Chris and Jim. (Chris and Jim were also @ the wild 'n crazy birthday party
@ the river in July). Here's our Thanksgiving in pictures.

I'm sorry that Chris is in the dark. There is a better picture coming up. We are relaxing while the bird cooks.

Judi, Bill and Jim are taking a quiz about what to do and not do

at holiday parties. We, of course, aced the quiz!

These three men live sans women but when a woman is around, guess who has to

do the ironing? The empty table and my coffee mug.

I should have had Bill take a picture of me slaving away ironing 

that blasted HUGE tablecloth!

The tablecloth with nary a wrinkle to be seen!

Isn't this lovely! Just waiting for the bird!

Turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, cranberry chutney, succotash, green bean casserole

and four hungry people.

Here's a nice picture of Chris, out of the dark -

and Jim in his colorful shirt.

Drinks were wine, milk and/or ice water.

Bill is a collector of sorts. LOL! LOL!

These are salt cellars - placed by your plate for your sole use.

Aren't they wonderful! I can count five sets. Bill will

correct me if I'm wrong. We used the chickens @ Thanksgiving.

The dregs………...

and the half-turkey.

And………..last but not least, the pumpkin pie.

It had whipped cream on the side and we added

it in heaps!

A wonderful Thanksgiving - good friends

and wonderful food! And Bill drove me home again.

The day before Thanksgiving we four went to the Cleveland Art Museum.

I was hesitant to go because I had walked outside for 45 minutes

and my back was hurting bad. But, good old Bill, said, "Chris is going

to push Jim in a wheelchair because of his knee so I will

push you in a wheelchair". And that we did. I had

my own private docent to show me all the wonders of that

marvelous museum! Along the way we came across a

????? - don't know what to call it

(Oops - tis is a pic of me in front of the "art" screen).

but will explain it this way -

A picture would come up of a painting - words about the artist - then a

blank screen (the size of a BIG tv screen) and using your finger, you could

"create" your painting using 2-4 colors. I did the red, green and yellow

one by myself. You can see, on the left the letters "JU".

The blue , white and black one was created by Bill and me. This is

my favorite of the two. We were then told we could e-mail our

pictures, which we did. I then took them from the e-mail into

my iPhoto and, lastly, into this blog. Oh, the wonders

of a computer! How I love it!.

I found this pic of me in front of the screen we used to do our art.
