Sure, the Food Was Good

   Thanksgiving is all about the Food, right?

   But it is more than Food, it is about Family.

   And when we think about Family, we focus on the Kids, the Four Great Grandkids in this case:

                                         Kensie

                                         Hannah

                                        Tucker

                                         Peyton

   Now don't think that we were not all properly Thankful for the many blessings that God has bestowed on this family, We Were.

   And don't think that we did not miss those who were not with us this year.

   And don't believe that the Great Grandmother was not thrilled with these Four...She was

   Even the neighbor's dog Dasher wanted to get in on the action.

                                        And DID

Searching the World over, and then....

   We went to Wyoming in September to see Fall color.

   We went to Blacksburg in October to see mountains in their Fall coats.

   One mid month day in November we glanced at our home yard and found...

   Morning light filtered through the trees in the front yard with the yard full of maple leaves.

   A Japanese Maple aglow beside the drive.

   A profusion of color all around...

   Some trees were still dropping their leaves and some clinging to the last.

   Then, as we looked around our couple of acres, marveling at the beauty of God's handiwork, we had a visitor who brought his own bright colors, to admire ours.

   Just no place like home.

   And we are Thankful.
 

Two Seniors and a Truck

   When we leased our condo on St. Simons a couple of months back, we had to move all the furnishings out. All came to our home in Chattanooga, where we used the garage for storage. Knowing we could not keep all the stuff in an already full house, we asked my kids what they might like to have, and they responded with varying requests.

   Last weekend, knowing how hard it would be for Doug and family to come and get their stuff, Carolyn and I packed it in the pickup and hit the road for Blacksburg.

   In order to insure no movement of cargo, and providing a place to tie the tarp, a floor frame was built.

   Just in case, the load was covered with a tarp and it was tied to the frame.

   On a beautiful Fall day, the sturdy 4 cylinder truck, made its initial road trip, eating up the miles and delivering the goods. The chairs remained empty, as Grandy refused to sit Clampet style on top the load.

   Pictures were hung, chairs put around the table, and the dog took up his post at the front door, ready to welcome guest and impede prowlers.

   Saturday was a sports day. Carolyn got to see David play basketball, and I went with Doug and Lucy to Charlottesville to see the newest bike racer in the family participate in a race.

   Weather in Charlottesville, sunny and chilly, a perfect day to race mountain bikes in the Commonwealth.

   Enjoy a short video of the new freshman on her sturdy bike, flying into the finish.

   A working trip, a fun visit, and great time with family.
