Thanksgiving 2019

Quiet Thanksgiving at home this year, Sammi and Jason here for probably the last time since they will be back in Florida next year and flying in for one day at this time of year just won't be in the cards. 

The obligatory Snoopy Balloon from Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade with the pups. 

Did you know the difficulty level is scored 5000x harder to get both Jake and Aidan to look at the camera at the same time?

Tori Has a Big Day (43 years ago)


 Found a little clipping in the newly digitized papers for The South Belt Leader online from 1976


which led us to pull out the photos taken on this day, trying to match up a couple of names we could not place. 

Confusing to me, the little girls I had spent my entire childhood with as neighbors, all listed here together: Shelley, Laura, & Julie are not in any of these pictures. 

Tim Lively is to my left, Sean Morgan on my right, but I can't place the boy at the end on the other side of Sean. Dean, Tricia, I want to say that is Doug Brown with his back to us, then Sunday, but I can't place the little girl far right.



 on the other side of Tim is Bryan and Cindy Montemayor, but I don't know the two girls on the end -- so these must be Julie and Judy -- before we're back around to Sunday and (still thinking) Doug.






and at the other table, Sherrill and Bubba. 

This was the same month we had moved into the new house, because there are a few other slides on the reel from our first days there.







Post Storm Beauty

The day after the storm, before any melt off can occur, is always my favorite. 

Checking when I got up, it was 5°, but it warmed all the way up to 6° before it was light enough to get outside!

it would seem you can spot people who've invested in solar panels by how quickly the sheet of snow begins to slide off the roof

11/26 Snow Dump

It got going overnight and is still going as of this writing (lunchtime)

A few photos of the fun












a few hours after the above, had to go out and rescue the sagging dragon
