Kiki is just a nickname, not sure on it's origin, I just know John has called her that from day one. Everyone meet Karen, my brother Tom's wife.Karen and Tom came over Tuesday to visit, watch a little AM Idol and help us devour the Thanksgiving like meal Leo & Mary prepared for us... really, it was that big. We had two roasts, dang near a dozen potatoes with carrots, fresh bread, mash potatoes and gravy, wine.... am I missing anything? I know what some of you are thinking, the answer is no, this was not a military Battalion send off meal, it was food for the 6 of us and John, and boy was it goooood!
Anyway, welcome Karen, once again, to South Dakota hospitality. Really, this is how good I get to eat EVERY TIME I trek to So Dak. It can be the 4th of July, one of the many hunting weekends, a holiday trip, or just an impromptu visit. It doesn't matter, the food is always big and always phenomenal when Mary & Leo are in the house. It is so good that My buddy Murph and brother Tom swear they gain weight when they visit each year during pheasant hunting season, even after walking several miles afield.
Thanks Karen & Tom for joining us for dinner & visiting. Thanks also to Mary & Leo for coming to town. You always have a place in our home and kitchen too. Oh, and extra special thanks to Mary for the "custom made" blueberry pie! That's right, she had a local pie hero bake me my favorite pie...how cool is that! I can't wait to me my new friend; "the pie lady of Miller." Be sure to let her know her baking was well received and a hug is on it's way!

Woo hoo! I made the blog! Still recovering from the fabulous meal. I must say, I look rather happy with a baby in my arms...someone tell Tom!
