I invited Dee and Trav over for vittles on turkey day this year.

We served up turkey, beef, and lots of trimmings, and I made pumpkin pie from real pumkins (for everything else my significant other kicks me out of the kitchen). The beef was a new addition this year, and seeing that Dee prefers cow over bird it was a lucky addition.

I must say that the two make a pleasant addition to the table. Trav amazes me with how much he knows, and Dee, well as always she is charming and fun to be around.

I did make one faux pas though:
In conversation I mentioned that my dad (75 now) didn’t have too many more decades in him. You know those times when you feel someone gnawing on your foot, and look down to see that it’s you?

Ah yes… There’s a reason I consider Dee to be a second mom… Oops…
So, to continue the foot fest… Thanks Neil and Dee… Hey we love you even if the term “Rocks don’t live that long” may (or not) apply… ROFL.

Leaves me thinking though, that various parts of the country might want to get a social night organized around the holiday season. I know there are many folks in my own back yard I’d love to meet. Probably too soon for this year, but I’m thinking 2010 might see a Washington state FAOL banquet. Any interest?

Not so much a “Social Night”, just a get togather with old friends!

Weather permiting and if the creek don’t rise I plan to attend the Fly Tying Expo up in Holt, MI and hob knob with some Michigan Fish-In Friends.

Mostly 'cause I don’t want to wait 7 more months to see them again!!

RonT,

By banquet, you mean food, right? If there’s food, VEE and I are always up for food. (I am getting a bit tired of turkey though)

The pleasure was all ours Ron. You were a gracious host and we enjoyed meeting the ‘family.’

When you’re nearly as old as dirt you have accumulated lots of mostly useless information so I guess I am a virtual sandbox full of knowledge.

Dee didn’t take your comment too hard, but when we got home she did spend an inordinate amount of time looking in the mirror.

Jack, are you and Warren planning on making it to the MTFF meeting tomorrow? If so, I’ll try to make it by, if I get off in time.
