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.

I've been to London and surrounding area maybe 20 times. There's still things I would like to go back and do.

@Alex Thats not good.

@Giles The menu, table setting, and leftovers look great. Good job.

@Matt And Ava probably remembers how you had her back, when you saved her and you were attacked in New Mexico.......

@Alex Beautiful shots. Thanks.

@Giles Great shot of the bar. The other pics sort of remind me of our wardrobes.

@Giles Area looks great. Did you have any of the Yorkshire pudding?

@Alex Yes my favorite grape, but I don't know the vineyard. How was it?

@ROman if the air fares are equally interesting, you'd be planning a visit?

The thought has crossed my mind.

@Giles said in Iron Heart Army Meeting 2025 Bremen, Germany:

OK. I have chatted to P. Hotel not booked, but we will likely book the same one as @hajduk

Dinner would be lovely....Thank you.

Bremen has an interesting looking Marriott Courtyard, with even more interesting room rates.
