Thanksgiving Turkeys (Blessings)

We are definitely blessed! Two turkeys: most families only have one but we like (our family) likes turkey left overs. I also have a new toy. This summer I got a smoker and since then have smoked ribs (twice), a beef brisket, and a Turkey (once in October when Mark and Dani came to visit and once for Thanksgiving). Nikki, Rachel, and Hailee, lapped up the ribs (I had cooked 4 racks) they didn't last long at all. I am getting pretty good at it and I will continue to smoke other meats and try some vegetables and as time goes on. I am waiting for salmon to go on sale so I can try smoking some. Well here are the turkeys.












This is both turkeys roasted on the left and smoked on the right. MMMMMMmmmmmmm


The girls busy cooking and the wonderful smoked bird.

New Eyes

I just had a life changing experience -- Lorie says that it really wasn't a life changing experience but more 0f a different experience (can't find the right word). I underwent LASIK eye surgery. I am very glad I did it and can see without my glasses. Yes, maybe it was a vain thing to do, however, now I don't have to pay for glasses. I also got very tired of sitting or laying on them when I set them on the bed or lost track of them. I will be very happy when the cornea gets back to norma. I am going to try to upload a video of the surgery and yes, that is my eye you see. Really didn't feel much, although it was very hard to look at the red light using my right eye. I got the mono vision (one eye near sided the other far sided) so I don't have to have reading glasses either. The day after the surgery I could read 20/12.5 with both eyes and 20/12.5 with the right eye, 20/15 with the right eye. So enjoy the video.
