Thanksgiving 2009

Thanksgiving 2009 was coming up and I thought it would be nice to call Randy and Ian.  So I discussed it with Craig a month before Thanksgiving considering that would give us enough time for them to give us an answer.  Randy and Ian are more like last minute people and would make arrangements like a week before or two weeks before the event. 

So I sent them an invite through evite, a month before Thanksgiving and had gotten a reply.  They say that they didn’t have any plans.  Craig and I thought that was great.  That gave us time to prepare on getting food and things like that.

The turkey

Randy got a little hot so he took off his checkered shirt.  I had to end up opening the window because of all the cooking.  

Craig cooking.  Notice the Christmas garland (btw, I made it) which means that we had Christmas decorations up already.  I like putting up the Christmas decorations up early sometime around Thanksgiving.

Ian and Randy Cheers !

We had an enjoyable time, but Craig and I were disappointed in them.  Why?  Because 5 minutes after dinner, Craig was about to serve them some pumpkin pie when they said they had to go and meet other people.  That was really rude of them to leave like that after them saying they didn't have anything to do for Thanksgiving Day. Its more on Randy's decision because Ian wouldn't say anything about leaving early.  That was disrespecting.  And that's typical of Randy of having some sort of control of Ian.  I personally just don't see Ian getting up and leaving like that without Randy saying something.  If they had somewhere else to go, that was fine, but let us know before hand so we don't have to buy all this food.  One thing I hate are friends doing something without me knowing and that's what they did.

Trunk Show

Since Randy sings at the men’s choir, there is a church nearby them and he found out that there was going to be a trunk fair where people have their own booths and try to sell their handmade stuff.  I had so much stuff I didn’t know what to do with them so I told Randy I would do it. 

They picked us up to have dinner that night and we ended up spending the night since the Faire was the next day.  Randy was nice enough to wash my afghans and put some nice smelly fragrance on them. 

While waiting for Randy and Ian to get ready, Craig and I were sitting around that we ended up sleeping on the sofa.  They just took so long.  While we were napping, one of them came into the livingroom and saw us sleeping on the sofa.

I actually did have fun at the Faire even though I only sold one blanket and one scarf.
