.Good Times.
...Heading down to one of my "Sisty Uglers"....she has a little fishin shack.

At 11 PM..before Thanksgiving a few of us hayseeds head out to a special spot to net Shrimp...
I am getting too dang old to do this but the young ones INSIST on going "Shrimpin'-at- Midnight".
They even wrote a song about it.

At 2 A.M. turkeys go in the portable roaster ovens on the Lanai.
.......Slow and Low........
Uncle "Buddy Row"(me) .(Buddy Row..That is another story.)
...........Puts the turkeys BREAST DOWN. .........
EACH get ONE ORANGE stuffed in the front.
.................AND....... One Stick of Butter in the cavity.
...by 3AM the last of the peeps are asleep...(Thank You Jesus.)

At precisely 9:45AM the dinner bell rings.... "IN the house"..YEP I said IN THE HOUSE.
I ring that sucker till "all are present and accounted for".
Those who are able....break out the eggs and bacon and pancake stuff
and mess us the entire kitchen.......
