Family and Friends Tour: Richmond, VA

We left Kentucky Tuesday morning, making it to sister Kathy's in Richmond in time for a supper of Chip's chicken stew. On Wednesday, after breakfast at the Dairy Bar and stops at the butchers for the turkey, the bakery for cupcakes and the seafood shop for smoked salmon, family started arriving.

Nephew Jimmy got in around 3 and the Hoke family convened for their traditional pre-Thanksgiving Mexican food.




Lunch on Thursday included Bloody Mary's (Dan and Chip's mom shown here)



And a spread of smoked salmon, Kathy's homemade pimento cheese,





And other assorted goodies





After naps, we started again.

Nephew Harry and I took pictures




While the turkey rested




And Dan showed off the possum loin.




We shared a feast







that included Chip's homemade biscuits. He has certainly channeled our mama Gwen.




Cal, Michael, and Mindy Hoke



Sisters





And Skyping with nephew Michael on his 23rd birthday.






We are fixin to pull out the leftovers and do it all again, this time without Jimmy who had to leave this morning. Tomorrow, we head to S.C.
