It's Gobble Time

Wezul and I returned home today after being in Illinois and Iowa for Thanksgiving week. We started our trip out visiting my family. We only had the opportunity to see my Uncle...but as always, it was a fun time. Wezul had to take our picture at the sign. I will be lying if I totally understood but for some reason he got a huge chuckle and had us stand there with AJB. After visiting with Uncle, we headed to Wezul's hometown in Clinton, Iowa. We stayed there until Friday morning. We got to meet the newest member of the family, SJP, he is such a cutie. Of course, we had to fight Grandma and Grandpa Pfeifle to hold him, but when we did get the chance it was great. And yes, for those who are wondering, Wezul did hold his new nephew (we have pictures to prove it) and he got plenty of playing time with GAP, and she didn't run from him.
On Monday, we made the Pfeifle homemade sausage. This time three generations of Pfeifles participated as you can see above. I got to document this festive process; however, as always, I got stuck holding the sausage. Hahaha!!! To see what I mean feel free to visit the Wezul Web. After the sausage was put into casings, it was time to smoke the goodies. It went pretty well...except for...a small collapse.
The beer was OKAY and wasn't hurt or spilled during the fall. :) Wezul wasn't hurt either, but the beer didn't survive long after they recovered from the tumble, he polished it off rather quickly. Other than that, we had a pretty good time in Iowa. We saw lots of family on this trip.

We left Friday morning and 6am and returned to NC after midnight. Probably, the most amazing part of the trip was that Wezul and I didn't kill each other after being in a car for 18 straight hours. Life is truly grand!!!
