Thanksgiving 2009 -Chronicles of Coach Sam


Last Update: 9:45 PM, Thursday, November 26...

5:30 AM... Up and out of bed... Covering the day in prayer...! -Most Important!!!

6:00 AM... Facebook time... -It's going to be a full day of family time, cooking, eating, and Starleet Commander Missions

7:00 AM... One of our family traditions is to make Rice Crispy Treat Squares for breakfast on holidays... (I think we've been doing this since 2003 and it's a good tradition...)

8:00 AM... Family is still asleep. I'm making deviled eggs just for Connor...-One of His Favorite Holiday favorites... Waiting for Monica to awaken so i can go to the store for last minute grocery shopping... Coffee is made... YUM...!

9:00 AM... Deviled Eggs -Done...! On my second cup of Coffee... Playing Starfleet Commander on Facebook. I know it's a colossal waste of time, but I'm indulging myself today. Prayed over my family and the day again this morning. -More than anything else, I REALLY want Connor and Elijah to have a Happy Thanksgiving memory of this year. Guess I'll get the smoker started for the Turkey... How late is everyone going to sleep today...? Oh well, it IS a holiday... More later...

10:00 AM... Monica and Elijah got up around 9:30 AM... I just got the smoker started for the Turkey and am heading to the grocery store for last minute things for our day of feasting and relaxation. Oh.. Connor is up... Yay...!

11:50 AM.... Put the turkey in the smoker at 11:30 AM... Ran a few Starfleet Commander Missions... Spoke to my grandmother, sister, older brother Stan, and left a message for my younger brother, John. Just a relaxing, peaceful day...! I'm about to start working on some snacks for the afternoon grazing before dinner this evening....!

3:00 PM... The day is going well... The turkey is on schedule to be ready around 6 PM... I also made a couple of stuffed pork loin rolls. They should be ready very soon.... Monica and I just went on a very enjoyable walk around the golf course. Let the records show that it's a beautiful day outside today...! I'm about to play a card game with Elijah, then do some more cooking...

5:00 PM... The turkey will be ready a little ahead of schedule... The pork loins are probably ready now... I need to go check my smoker... I'm working on giblet gravy... Everything else is up to Monica.... Mmmmm.... The house smells like fresh baked apple pie... We're planning to eat around 6 PM...

6:16 PM... Pretty much everything is ready except the Turkey: It needs a few more minutes... But here's where my backup plan kicks in: The Stuffed Pork Loin is ready for action right now so we are still on schedule... Sadly, there was one 'casualty'. The platter that we've used every year since we've been married broke. It was my mother's and she got it from her mother...! Oh well, that's one family heirloom that won't get passed down... (Sorry Elijah and Connor...)
9:45 PM... Dinner was excellent... Everyone enjoyed the pork loin roll. All the sides were good. Dessert was good... No, dessert was EXCELLENT...! Monica's apple pie can't be beat...! We're all enjoying to watch movies with Elijah... 'Cars' was first, now we're watching 'Peter Pan'. All in all, it was a family triumph for the Chadwell's today!
Wlll try to update this site every hour or so throughout the day...! Please check back...
