Thanksgiving brunch started at 11:AM at the Woodlands country club, which meant leaving the house at 9:45AM. We arrived a bit early, so we took a few pics with the Zappas while waiting for Lina and Joe to arrive:
Lunch was nice and extensive. I have a hard time saying no to desserts, especially when they're on fire:
Afterward, we were gifted with many of Mrs. Zappa's homemade lemon cookies, mini pumpkin cheesecakes, and biscottis:
Later that afternoon, I stopped by June's place to see how her dinner preparations were coming along. In case you were wondering, yes, she really does live in a five story townhome:
June cooks once a year - Thanksgiving - and she goes all out. I believe in addition to the turkey, she was making focaccia bread, salmon mousse, potatoes and misc other side dishes:
Unfortunately, I wasn't able to stay for dinner, but I was there just long enough for one of her two skittish cats to make an appearance. I fed this one treats for a little while before she ran off:
My folks also had turkey and ham waiting at home. After a quick bite, I picked up Jeremy and met Ron at Champps sports bar to watch the UT / A&M game. As in years past, Jeremy and I like to place a friendly wager on the game - the loser picking up the winner's dinner tab. As expected, UT lost again. Jeremy - hope you enjoyed your apple crisp a-la-mode.
And as a departing pic, I've been walking Mylo a bit of late while his owner recovers from surgery. That's one happy dog:
