Thanksgiving in Corpus Christi

I went to visit my cousin and her husband in Corpus Christi over Thanksgiving. My mother and her brother and his wife (my cousin's parents) and Jan and Ray, her husband and me all hung out for a couple of days of Thanksgiving bliss.

From left to right, Jan, Webster (the dog), Ray, Jan's husband, my mother Lou Anne, Marge and Clinton, Jan's parents.

The Thanksgiving meal was great. Turkey, homemade cranberry relish, with orange, stuffing, broccoli, and more besides. We also had some great pudding pies, with homemade crust and separated eggs. Friday we went out for breakfast for real Tex-Mex food (I had choriso and eggs) and Saturday we had barbacoa for breakfast.

There house is beautiful. It has a lovely water garden, complete with Koi and a nice deck where one could sit and watch them swim ...

The dog can watch the Koi too, though they prefer he not join them swimming.

Their house is close to the waterfront, so Jan and I went for a walk with the dog along the beach on Thanksgiving.

She managed to take a picture of me that doesn't totally make me shudder.

They even got me into a group photo.
