Thankful for… Family

Saying that I have LOTS to write about would be an understatement. It has been a whirl-wind week of turkey dinners, long lost family, interviews, airports and a little head cold to make it interesting.

My Thanksgiving took place over the span of 3 days. I was able to see some of my family that I haven’t seen in years. Also, if I needed to be reintroduced to the south, this was the way to do it.

My first meal was at my step-moms parents house and couldn’t have been more southern. It included fried okra, giblet gravy and macaroni and cheese.

If you look really closely, you will see the COWS that were in the FRONT YARD during our meal… and it was a balmy 60 degrees. Welcome to Georgia.

On Saturday my dad hosted a little GA vs GA Tech football party. The Zaxby’s chicken was the most delicious food I have ever had! Once again… Welcome to Georgia.

Saturday night I was off to my mom’s house for a Thanksgiving dinner that came in the form of Lasagna. Although my niece looks miserable we had a great time.

On Sunday the time had come to eat with my dad’s side of the family. My dad, step-mom and I spent the day slaving in the kitchen… What a feast we had!

A cousin, myself, and an uncle.

The whole “Winham” gang. We are such dorks for posing on the stairs…

Stay tuned for some deep thoughts from my week… I am off in search of boxes.
