#10-42 Thanksgiving weekend

The morning of Thanksgiving was cold and clear. The night before the weather froze and all the leaves fell off the tree, all at once. Ray raked up a big pile of leaves so his two kids could play in them. The kids jumped in them, fell into them and just had a big time playing. The day was clear, cool and sunny. Great Thanksgiving weather.

Graham is teaching A.J. and Aubrey how to play video games. I don’t think their Mom is really all that happy about that.

The table is set and we are ready for all of us to sit down and eat.

This is just some of the food we prepared. There were three of us helping to fix dinner. Nicole, Laurie and Dixie. We had turkey and all the trimmings, three kinds of desert with choice of ice cream or whip cream! There were nine of us for dinner, and we had lots of leftovers.

Mary Beth, Laurie’s good friend for over 25 years is watching Laurie hold her grandson, Eldon. Rachel and Allie arrived home from Texas the night before and all of us gathered for breakfast on Saturday Morning. Laurie said that Eldon missed her while she was gone and had to have lots of hugs.

Eldon is starting to walk. He still uses his push toy, but he won’t be using it for long. He is adjusting the volume on the TV for his Great Grandpa.

We only had one day left of our long weekend and we ended up at Rachel and Allie’s house to make candy during the day and all of us went out for dinner.

Our last night in the high desert was Monday the 29th of Nov, so we took some steak to Rachel and Allie’s, picked up Laurie after work and had bar-b-que. Allie is a great chef.

We left on Nov 30, headed to warm weather. After a week of below freezing weather at night we were looking forward to sun and warmth.
