THE Rivalry

Today is the ultimate game for people from Alabama, including those of us transplanted to Texas. I graduated from Alabama, and Lynne’s an Auburn fan. So she and her crew, including Lila (above) are here watching the Iron Bowl with us.

My socks, Lynne’s coffee cup:

Lynne’s birthday is tomorrow, so I made her a cake–Auburn tiger and Crimson Tide elephant:

Regardless of who wins bragging rights for the next year, the cake will be good. Also: ROLL TIDE!

ETA: Final Score Auburn 28 Alabama 27

Lynne gets bragging rights. I think that should be her only present.

Now for leftovers

The previous three Thanksgivings, I think we’ve been at Green Acres. Today it was the three of us–and five dogs–at home. On the menu:

Baked hen, dressing, squash casserole, crowder peas, mashed potatoes and gravy, and salad.
ETA: Cranberry sauce.

The Big H and her driver, also known as Rex’s former attorney, came by briefly to drop off a homemade pumpkin pie which was extremely delicious.

I’m thankful for the abundance of good people, dogs, books, and other wonderful things in my life. I’m also thankful that Tim won’t tell anybody that I put the tablecloth wrong side up.

Happy Thanksgiving to all!
