Our Thanksgiving Desserts!

By popular demand, here's the desserts from our Thanksgiving Feast. The best part of the meal in my opinion! Our original goal was one per person, but in reality seven desserts filled us to the brim.

Our Thanksgiving Feast

Our food spread was incredible this year! I couldn't believe all the different foods we had so I put together this collage to document the occasion. Two turkeys, lots of friends and tons of fun.

There's nothing like a test drive

Is this the rainiest October on record? We had a gloomy, foggy summer that we kept thinking would clear and blast us with a heat wave. It didn't and we didn't order the roof. September and October are the locals' summer months in San Diego. These months are usually warm and sunny with big empty beaches free of tourists. But they weren't, they were misty and wet. So between a cloudy summer and rainy autumn here we are thankful for two alternating weekends of sunshine during which we roofed our little hearts out.

Loyalty trumps dirty

Why would he wait for us anywhere else but at the base of the ladder? The reroof project has generated a bit more debris than we originally expected, nothing unmanageable but it's pretty dirty. Today we will figure out how to get that cleared up along with repairing any rotten wood. I'm not quite sure how I'm going to lift sheets of plywood up a ladder but, hey we'll figure it out. Right?

Gutters: Gone

I don't know if I can actually call them gutters as much as they're just glorified rock holders. Once we cleared the 6 tons of rock from inside them Thomas tore out the 9" nails holding them to the house and I swept the rock into tidy piles. Removing the gutters was really not as tough as we thought it was going to be. Stay tuned for next week where we pelt the dogs with the 2,469,321,898 remaining roof rocks.
