Well I hope everyone had a great Turkey day! I'm sure everybody's rubbing their bellies. We had a wonderful thanksgiving. Sam only rolled down the driveway backwards once, just kidding. Lan and I got to Shepherds about 10:00 and Dad and Jaime weren't far behind us. Sam told me what all to pack him and we were off around 12:00. We made a flawless transfer from the chair to the front seat of my van with Sam. Dad, Jaime, and Lan sat in the back seat. In normal Sam fashion we rode to our Aunt Susan's with his shades on listening to some gnarles barkley, chili peppers, and nellie furtaco's "Permiscuous". Once we got their we made another flawless transfer to his chair from the van, until we realized that we didn't lock the brakes and he started rolling down the driveway. Again, just kidding, no people or animals were hurt (except maybe the turkey). We ate a delicious meal prepared by our Aunt Susan. Sam had seconds of turkey, dressing, and gravy. He even ate a piece of all three pies that she cooked. With it being such a beautiful day we ate outside on the back deck and after our meal went inside to watch a little football and darts (yes they actually televise darts, go figure). Dad took pictures of Lan, Sam and myself for Xmas cards. After that we headed back to Shepherd. On the way back we listened to Panic's Halloween show at the MGM Grand. Sam agrees with probably the rest of the world that G-mac needed to go and that Jimmy Herring is a great fit after listening to a few tracks. Again flawless transfer to and from the van. Sam got back to Shepherd and started making his rounds to different rooms, plugging his music by giving people cd's of his latest project that he worked on before his accident. We had a great Thanksgiving. At Aunt Susan's he got to visit with Aunt Sis, Gran and Granpappy, Uncle Brooks, Aunt Susan, Jennings, Robert, Dad and Jaime, and Lan and myself. Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and had safe travels.
