Happy Thanksgiving Day!
As I mentioned in yesterday's post, Laurie, Jesús and Bere were all fired up to celebrate an American Thanksgiving in Spain today and I was all for it!
Laurie and Bere were busy
in the kitchen so I had Luna
and Camila all to myself
As is always the case in these big family feasts, we needed some last minute items we had forgotten.
I was off to the pueblo to buy another container of butter, can't have enough of this in real cooking as you probably know, and some extra virgin olive oil.
Along the way, Iglesia de
Nuestra Señora la Virgen de
la Soledad was open
It rarely is open so I had to take a quick peek inside.
That's her all right
Nice iglesis inside
The Iglesia's entry yard art
was pleasant too
We didn't need fish or . . .
. . . ham
Armanda City Crest
Fully equipped, the feast was on!
Two kilo turkey breast
wrapped in bacon
The gravy and green beans
looked good
Our table was set
The wine was opened
Bere and Jesús were ready
The turkey breast had been carved
And the feast began
Proud of my bride as always
It was really good as always, THANKS LAURIE!

After our sumptuous meal, I received a scheduled call from Marco to be on his national radio talk show that deals with every thing American in the sports world.
He had me on for about ten minutes to discuss Thanksgiving Day weekend and its importance in the American sports universe at the high school, college and NFL levels.
I had fun, GRACIAS MARCO!
Now it was on to an Osos Rivas video review team meeting.
Commies are now into Archery
Let the meeting begin
I could only stay for the first 30 minutes of the meeting as I had to make the 45 minute drive to . . .
A Guadalajara Stings practice
As you can see, the Stings have a friendly scrimmage coming up in about two weeks at the home field of the Extremadura Gladiators.
Unfortunately, we won't be here to see it as we return home to California next Thursday.

Always good to aid the
blood flow
Disengage!
Finish!

It was indeed a good day and we do have so much to be thankful for.
Friday will be another huge day for us for many reasons including the . . .
