Todd G. mentioned a bare-knuckle brawl! I had to ask is this any and everyone? "whoever shows up with whisky!" Careful with this family, your gift of spirits could land you a punch in the face!
I like to think cowboys would put their boots on the fence posts to dry out just in time for them to hit the club later for some line dancing. At least, that's why I would put them there!
Since my Grandma passed away a few years ago, I have taken on the family tradition of having Thanksgiving dinner at my house. (I miss her dearly.)
I have tried to cook everything the way she did. I even order the exact turkey and ham from the same butcher...
