Thanks for the memories.......

The Northern Court of Castle Bedelia hosted Thanksgiving Dinner this year for our family and a few members from the Southern Court of Mrs. Astor flew up from Miami to join us. Unfortunately Mrs. Astor and The Scarlet Pimpernel had other plans and couldn't attend but Black & Tan Mark, Captain Jeremy (of Mrs. Astor's 7th Calvary) and Jose made the long trek through the wilds of Transylchusetts to attend our merry feast.

The Countess duBarry prepared a delicious menu consisting of the traditional turkey and two kinds of stuffing, her own cranberry relish, and such delicacies as Seafood Tart, New England Pumpkin Soup, Sweet Potato with Brie & Pecans, Butternut Squash Lasagna, and the Countess duBarry British Trifle for dessert.

Our beloved Ian wanted to be with us in spirit and sent a special message to each guest. Before beginning the first course, we all shared our letters with each other. Thank you, darling Ian. I can't tell you enough how much we all appreciated your kind and loving thoughts.


Mr. Brian prayed to the food gods before he ate all this food!

The Thanksgiving Party lasted until Saturday. The Castle Bedelia guest rooms were filled to capacity and the Great Hall rang with laughter. This Countess had such a wonderful time. I love you all so much and thank you for making this one of the best Thanksgivings I have had in a long time!

Sounded like a blast...sorry I couldn't make it. Will and I didn't get back till late but then again had I known it went till Saturday!!!

Happy Holidays!
I've watched Mr. Brian "pray to the food gods" before; it is a clever ruse to get the biggest portion.

Although our own annual dinner at Castle Astor was wonderful, I wish I could have been there.....
Rick - The party never ends at the Castle Bedelia when the court is in attendance!!

Mrs. Astor - You were missed but we always raise a glass to you and thank you for bringing us all together.
That is a big pile of young studs to be feeding, Countess. Next year have them bring more wine.
