THANKSGIVING DAY DIG PICTURES
It was a cold morning .. cold day
after Turkey Sandwiches!
We would like to share with you
a little Austindigger Tradition and take you on a trip with us to have
a
Thanksgiving Day feast in the field...
We had our traditional early dinner
and THIS is how it went! - Please
sit back and enjoy !
Times are tough for everyone these days.. SO tough that we had to
sacrifice our photography prop for dinner!
Penny was a good old bird... and the dressing made was divine!
Here is a little BEFORE THE FRYER pictures for you
to enjoy
Penny came armed today! Maybe she read it in her cards that her
days were numbered!
Or maybe she wanted to dig a little searching for herself today
!
Off to work! HAL has something sticking out of the wall so it was
Penny's time to shine!
Then Michelle had this HEART BREAKER kenny sticking to the wall
flat as can be!
We knew that is was broke though .. Unless it could pierce that
ROCK that it was sticking into!
I started walking around and found a old "Test Hole" of Hal's and
thought that I would clean it out
and give it a try .. Saw a little flint in the wall and said what
the heck !!
HAL! Gotta get those eyes checked sometime Mr ! Ohh.. Wait..
naaaaa ! I say keep those
old glasses and I will just dig in your hole areas! Woo Hoo! Too
bad its impact fractured ! Still Beautiful!
These next pictures are kind of hard to see , but , there was a
beauty of a base sticking
barb out here and I wanted to try to get some shots ! The ants were
starting to come out of
the dirt were I was digging - So hal brought out his OWN ants to
make matters worse!
The "Midden Army Ants" took care of the little ones.. AND started
to attack my flint and my Raid!
Ahh Well... It ended up being a broken - But sure looked good when
it was in the wall that's for sure!
Getting kind of HUNGRY after a long days digging - Hal was off in
the woods somewhere.
I thought he was taking care of business.. I guess he was cookin
up a bird for Turkey Day !
Hay Hal ....... Have you Seen PENNY around?
NEVER MIND THERE SHE IS ! PASS THE GRAVY MAN IM STARVING
We had all the trimmings! Nice sparkling grape juice and a little
citrus on the side
We sat down for a little SNACK and PENNY'S name will never be spoken
again
TASTE LIKE CHICKEN
We ate our dinner and sang with glee about the finds
of the day !
(PS ofcourse I am on the RIGHT - With Hal's eye' and
all ya know!)
We were dosing off from all the food (Didn't know
that Penguin also made you tired)
and didn't know what was happening around us! Hal's
buddies turned into the clean-up crew and were
helping themselves to the scraps .. and whatever else
they can get there hands on too!
THEY TOOK EVERYTHING !
AND WHEN I SAY EVERYTHING........ I MEAN EVERYTHING
!!!
THANKS FOR JOINING US FOR OUR LITTLE THANKSGIVING DAY PLAY - HOPE
YOU AND YOUR
FAMILIES ALL HAVE A WONDERFUL TURKEY DAY!
