Okay, here we go. At Thanksgiving Monte and I went to Flower Mound, Texas to spend it with Monte’s brother, Scott, and his family. We had Thanksgiving dinner with Scott & Sue, their daughter Megan and her husband Mark, their sons Myles, Marshall, and Marc, and some family friends. Dinner was great. Scott usually does the turkey but he had recently had surgery on his shoulder so he “instructed” Marshall in how to stuff the turkey and put it in the oven. Then Sue and I (and other members of the family) cooked a lineup of really tasty things. The boys watched football (of course) and Scott napped – his pain meds were pretty effective. Sue’s friend Sharon had provided a variety of pies so, when we were capable of eating again, we engaged in a sort of taste test. Sharon repeatedly declaring that they weren’t any good. In a roomful of men and teenage boys the pie was declared eminently edible, and they did – well we all did.
The next day we went to the temple. Marshall will be leaving on his mission to Ontario, Canada in January and needed to receive his endowments. What a great honor it was to be able to be there for that event with him. Marshall is a valiant young man, an excellent example of what it means to belong to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. We topped off the trip by having a celebratory dinner at a Mexican restaurant where we consumed multiple baskets of chips and salsa, some pretty great Mexican food, and celebrated Marshall’s accomplishment along with celebrating his birthday (it was also Scott’s birthday!) Whew!
