Thanksgiving At The Brown's



After visiting Donna's, we headed to Knoxville, TN to see Mom and Dad's new house. Dad sent us the back way(over the mountains) and we managed to get lost. WE missed a turn that took us about 1 1/2 hours out of the way. The good part, it was a beautiful drive.

Jennifer and her family(minus Anthony-he had to work) came over. Mom invited Aunt Beckie and Uncle Bill to eat with us, too. We enjoyed a delicious dinner prepared by Mom. The dressing was her best ever!!! Beckie brought her famous chocolate and coconut creme pies. We were stuffed.

Before dinner, we watched a nail biter between UT and Kentucky. UT pulled it off in 4 over times. Way to go Big Orange.

After dinner, we watched the other orange team, Clemson, play South Carolina. It was another excellent ballgame. The tigers scared us late in the game, but pulled it off in the end. Rebecca was on the phone with her friend, Lexi, constantly discussing their teacher having to wear a Clemson shirt on Monday.

On Sunday, Deke and his family came over for a short visit. Aunt Barbara came, too. It was great getting to see relatives I haven't seen on a regular basis in the last few years. I look forward to more of it when we visit Mom and Dad.
