We started November off with a couples cooking party. On the menu was stuffed peppers and Waldorf salad and for dessert chocolate covered marshmallows. I have been slacking at the pictures so only managed to get a few shots of our marshmallow creations.
Then my parents came to visit for five days. That was so much fun. We did a lot of firsts for Tuff and I including the
Just Ducky Tours and eating at
Deluca's in the Strip District and
Fatheads Saloon in Southside. They drove the journey to Pittsburgh from Minnesota taking the northern route through Upper Peninsula Michigan and were stopped early by a massive blizzard. Then on their journey back to Minnesota they took the southern route and ran into tornados near Fort Wayne, Indiana!
Ohio River.

the Allegheny, the Ohio and the Monongahela.
Duquesne Incline.
Great picture below of my parents on top of Mount Washinton. We learned on the Just Ducky Tours that Pittsburgh has over 400 bridges. You can see just a few in the left side of the photo.

We also enjoyed two days of golf as Pittsburgh keeps its courses open year round. Again I slacked with taking pictures so no golf photos.
Finally to top off a great November we enjoyed a wonderful Thanksgiving feast with some friends, hosted by the Wrights. The night was not without classic chaos. While basting the turkey a final time, the juices spilled all over the oven, causing the entire house to smoke. All at the same time the last of the guests were arriving to the scene. I can only imagine what they were thinking!
We still needed to use the oven so Matt and Tuff cleaned out all the juices so we could finish the cooking without the smoke. Haha.
In the end the feast was glorious.
Tuff's plate. He is all about presentation.
We are very thankful for all of you and your continued support. Until next time...
