Thanksgiving 2013

A few weeks ago Mel made a delicious blackberry pie. Not bad for her first try!

Stan also made a lamb curry that turned out great.

Stan took Wednesday off and we drove down to Mesa for Thanksgiving. He has been working on a programming project and found a way to continue working on it while driving.

He put a pillow on his lap, then the cooler, then the laptop. He also had a wireless keyboard and mouse.

Mel drove. There was some snow on the way.

We made a delicious chocolate pie for Thanksgiving, as well as stuffing and yams and apples. About 18 people came, which is small for the Merrill family. Turkey and everything else was great.

We drove about an hour south to the Casa Grande ruins. It was neat. The largest building was supposedly four stories tall and built in the 1400s.



The walls of the ruins were made of adobe.




If you look close you can see Ben, Mel's brother on the other side.


These holes were for wooden floor beams.
