#13-26 November and Thanksgiving

If you double click on a picture it will enlarge the view

We spent most of the month of November working on the house.  We had to replace the liner in the pond,  We refinished the patio floor, which meant stripping the paint off of it, twice because it didn’t all come off the first time.  Then filling the cracks, and grinding them smooth.  Frank wan on his hands and knees one entire day.  We were both very sore Senior Citizens.  But the patio and pond look great.  Then we prepared for Thanksgiving and family.  Not everyone could make it for Turkey Day, so that Friday we had Prime Rib day!  So much fun to have the kids, grand kids and great grand kids there.  We had people sleeping everywhere!  


Rachel making her Banana pudding pie and Eldon on the cot we set up in the office,




The kids played in the office until it was time to eat.  Adele was ready for dinner.  The high chair she is in, is the same one we had for Raymond when he was a baby, some 50 years ago!  It folds and has been through a lot of babies over the years



Dinner on the patio.  Works great and everyone had plenty to eat.


Friday night dinner.  Steven and Micaela came from Redlands.  Graham from North Hollywood.


Collin from North Hollywood and his Mom, Laurie from Stamford, CT.

After dinner the girls and Frank cleaned up,  I rested!

Fun time is after clean up—a rousing game of spoons.  Grandson, AJ got a spoon!  Happy times.

On their way back to Lancaster, CA.  Granddaughter Rachel, her husband Allie and Eldon and Adele.  Such a nice family.  Love them to pieces.
