Thanksgiving

We visited the 'Little People' Thursday. The paternal grandparents hosted Thanksgiving dinner.
Giving thanks.
Even Little Miss El, who looks for a warm lap to sit on while she eats, ate with the big kids.





The Grandparents, enjoying after dinner coffee and conversation.





The Grandmothers and Great-Grandmother playing Uno with two of their grandchildren.
Normally, we would have gone for a walk, but the rain was coming down in buckets!


We stayed overnight and awoke to snow in the morning!
And a car covered in ice!

Three inches of rain fell Wednesday evening and Thursday, November 25.
2.05 inches of rain fell Thursday, setting a new record.

Birthday Cards and Presences


We met the Little People and their parents at Outback Steakhouse for a birthday dinner.
I had a 1/2 rack of baby back ribs that were outstanding and a sweet potato. THEN, a birthday treat of vanilla ice-cream covered with whipped cream and a maraschino cherry!






After dinner, we drove to Florence Mall so the Little People could run and play before getting back into the car for the trip home.
Children, always in motion!
A birthday photo!

Trip to Connecticut

We visited Christine and Bob and the kitties.
Lloyd is standing guard by the door. Kitka loves to be petted.
Bob drove us up to a craft fair in Wilton. The owner cleared out the furniture in his furniture store so that different vendors could exhibit their wares. Crafts included: refinished furniture, chandeliers, knitted/woven scarfs, linens, papercrafts, candles, clocks. Visitors were welcomed with a long table covered with large pieces of assorted coffee cakes and breads, coffee, tea and warm cider.


Sunday, we returned to Wilton to watch trebuchets hurl pumpkins.
We were surprised to find out that this was a 'program' for small children bringing pumpkins.
We detoured on the way to the car to visit the animals.




Thank you for a nice visit, Christine and Bob!
