Visiting Uncle Scott and Aunt Hadie along with Bob's Cousin, Linda

We were very pleased that we were invited to join Uncle Scott and Aunt Hadie and her sister, Dibbel for Thanksgiving dinner in Burgaw, NC. The only catch was that Bob had to carve the turkey. First he had to figure out how to put the electric knife together. Once he did that, he was ready to carve.

Thanks to Dibbel, we had a wonderful Thanksgiving meal. She made everyone feel welcomed and fed them well.

Good table converstation afterwards.

We visited Hadie's other sister's family in South Pines, NC near Pinehurst where Bob's cousin, Linda lives. Mildred, Hadie's sister, invited us Friday to eat a delicious meal with their Thanksgiving left overs. We also invited Linda to meet the relatives.

One interesting note about Mildred's family is that they produce musical shows down in Myrtle Beach and they had just done the Christmas show the week before we were there, and Linda actually attended it. Very talented people.

I'm not sure if I remember everyone's names. Next to Bob is one of Midred's daughters and next to her is one of her sons. The Official guy is a son in law.

Sitting is Mildred's husband. Sitting is Linda and standing is my Uncle Scott. It turned out that Linda and Hadie's relatives had common friends and experiences so that was nice.

Hadie and Mildred, the great cook. Mildred has had some very interesting experiences, especially with her trips to Washington, DC.

We stayed a couple of days with Linda before we said good bye to her. Thanks for a nice visit, Linda.

Then we drove back to Burgaw to visit my Uncle Scott and Aunt Hadie some more. We had some unexpected hospital time for Scott, but it all turned out OK. But the important thing is that we were able to share their 34 th wedding anniversary. We drove down to Myrtle Beach and ate an anniversary meal. Here they are looking like they belong to one another. Right?

Goo Goo Eyes.

Then they treated us to a really fantastic Christmas show at the Carolina Opray. That was spectacular. Thanks for a great evening and may you have many more anniversaries.
