Nope, it was too hot for Thanksgiving in Ohio. It was instead LABOR DAY "bell and richard" style. We love to deep fry turkeys. I am hooked, I can never go back. There is just no better taste in all the world. My mouth is still watering! WOW! My dad and I got our deep fryers ready and the cooking began. You could smell the turkey for miles in the hot sunny afternoon. In fact it was so warm out that the turkey cooked faster than I have ever seen one. It was done in about 40 minutes and it was almost 16 pounds of meat. As soon as I got it into the kitchen my hands started picking at the skin, wow, how yummy! Mike and Heidi, YOU MISSED IT!! For all those in the Rock Solid SS class, NO, I did not eat too much. I paced myself and felt really good at the end of the day! Thanks for your prayers, it was not easy. By the time the day was over and the carcus was the only thing left, we had all had a wonderful day of sun, swimming, the reds LOOSING AGAIN, visiting, laughing, smiles and friendship. I love my job, I love working at LCC, but it is nice to take a day and celebrate working by just enjoying God's awesome creation with friends and family! Thanks mom and dad for hosting another wonderful party! Today it was back to work and back to life, however, I did find time to have a deep fried turkey sandwich with fresh home-grown tomatoes and some miracle whip (Yes Dan P, it was THAT good)! I better stop, I might eat again! Feel free to comment below and let me know what your family did on Labor Day! I would love to hear.
Final notes. Bill and Holly and fam, I am praying for you and your family during this hard time!! The Richard family loves you guys! Finally, to my friends Jeff and Rhonda Martin, CONGRATS on Jeffery & Jonah's baptisms on Sunday. The pictures were awesome (www.emergingorchard.blogspot.com). It must be an amazing thing to baptize your kids, I can't wait for that day to come. We are proud of your boys and excited for you!!! To God be the Glory!!
B. OUT!!
