Scott and Chris came in on Tues evening; unfortunately, Philly had a bad rain storm hovering over the city, causing a few flight delays and cancellations. Rick finally got Scott at 12:15 am on Wed, and made it home at 1 am or so. Wed noonish we picked up Jason and went over to Reading Terminal Market to have lunch. It's an indoor market, with fresh veg and seafoods, delicious breads and cookies, and lots of sandwiches to choose from. Kind of resembles an outdoor street market, only indoors.
On Thurs the men folk got up for the Turkey Bowl, a tradition they can never miss, no matter where we are - returned covered in mud, due to all the rain the day before. It was not too cold, high 50s, and sunny. We had the traditional Tday dinner: turkey, ham (my sons insist on this), rolls, dressing, corn, green bean casserole, baked candied sweet potatoes, smashed potatoes (I use yukon golds, they are my fav), baked beans with lots of carmelized onions, cranberries, pickles and olives, and pumpkin pie.
Fri we went to 2 malls, and various other stores, trying to catch some Black Fri deals, of which we found few. I, for some perverted reason, have more fun watching the youtube videos of beatdowns and fracases that occur among the bargain seekers. Rick, Scott, and I came back early (3pm) and Jason and Chris drove back to the mall to finish it off, arriving back home at 7:30pm.
Sat morning - just got back from dropping Jason off at the airport; Chris and Rick just went to the shooting range. Still plenty of Christmas movies to watch, turkey and ham to finish off. Tomorrow we step on the scales to read the bad news.
