Having some great friends over for dinner.

Drove down to Charleston, SC. with Giles and Paula for an introductory tour yesterday, @Ralph took some photos of Charleston, Had a memorable evening at the bar in the hotel, went to a French restaurant 39 Rue De Jean, dinner and drinks which was great, and then returned to the bar at the hotel.

Returned home today, I previously invited @sabergirl and Marcia to come, which they did and had a great afternoon with the 6 of us. A very nice 2 days.

To me Thanksgiving is friends family and food. Can't name all the food, besides Turkey, Dressing / stuffing / filling, Corn spoon bread, Mashed taters, String bean casserole, salads, Pumpkin pie, my sister made a chocolate pie. Not to mention the appetizers. There was 13 great family and friends here altogether.

Merry Christmas all, and Happy Holidays. This is my usual Christmas tradition.

Asparagus and red pepper salad.
Tenderloin roast, scalloped potatoes, spinach souffle.

red velvet cake.

I returned from my vacation late Tuesday night. Last night I had a couple of drinks and went through this thread reading and looking at what I missed in the past 20 days. It looks like it was a great party, sorry I missed it. I enjoyed seeing all the familiar faces. Glad everyone had a great time. By the end and as I finished my drinks, I felt I captured the vibe of the party. Nice one.

My personal favorite.

Inspired by @denim-dawg and @SamD because it’s f’n cold:

You weren't inspired by @twin with the hat????

Celebrating my birthday with Ralph, my sister and her husband in Blowing Rock, NC.

I have always liked Lee Jeans, haven't worn them in years. I was inspired by the pair that @Giles is selling. The jeans are reproduction Lee 101Z, The jacket is vintage from my closet, never worn or washed.

But did Bowie ever find the person he was meant to be?

Major Tom

Maybe some sort of Kansas City Rub, or dry brine???? @SKT

I bought a bottle of Cognac many years ago in Texas, mainly because I liked the appearance of the bottle. I placed it in my bar where it has remained. This morning, I saw pics of an event that occurred yesterday And kept thinking why does this outfit look familiar????

@Brodie pizzas look great.
@flannel-slut ravioli carbonara looks excellent.

It's going to be cold in North Carolina Mon., Tue., and Wed. but nothing like Baltimore or Wisconsin.

Again, @Madame-Buttonfly , Happy Birthday Paula. Hope you enjoyed your day.

Okay, sounds like sour grapes......

@sabergirl He, whatever his name was ,was posting a ton of posts, which are the ones that were deleted.

@Graham Kind of similar to when I buy a bottle of Vodka, at the same store, and the same brand for years. I tell them if I return it, it wont be in the original bottle. After they ask if I want a receipt.
