A Look Back at Fall

It's a new year and time for an update as Jenyl promised! This past fall Jenyl, Mom and Dad joined us in Ligonier for the annual Fort Ligonier Days celebration. Jenyl managed to rub elbows with a pretty impressive figure- Note- Jenyl and George were here! This past Thanksgiving the Murdock family added a new tradition to our repertoire. Last year Scott's sister and brother in law from Texas came for Thanksgiving and brought their turkey fryer. Scott fell in love with cajun fried turkey and when Gander Mountain had a sale needless to say we walked away with a turkey fryer. This was our first time doing this and a special thanks goes out to Jeanne and Gary for manning the texas fried turkey hotline and patiently answered all our questions- like exactly what are the chances of this exploding and catching on fire- do you all watch mythbusters? Ian being the knight in shining armor donned Dad's welding mask and retrieved the fire extinguisher just in case we needed defending from the deadly fryer. I am happy to report that the lowering of the turkey into the fryer went off without a hitch. As with most Murdock endeavors we do try these things in less than ideal weather conditions and this was no exception. It was a cold and windy day so the men did need to construct a wind break just so we could get the temperature up enough. The turkey was a huge success and was enjoyed by all. I think next year will be a two turkey thanksgiving as well. One last update that we feel is necessary is to let you know that Jenyl is out of the dog house the car is fixed and the other party admitted to full responsibility- her slate is clean for the new year. I am up in Greenville now with Mom and Dad. We were able to get Dad out of bed for most of the day. Please continue to keep Dad & Mom in your prayers. We thank you for your faithfulness towards them this past year and pray God's blessings to you all in 2010.
