Happy Thanksgiving

Here are 5 of the grandkids that celebrated Thanksgiving at my sister's house today. The two on each end are brothers and the little prince is in the middle. Note his wet hair. He sweats more than anyone I know.

Food was awesome: turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, gravy, sweet potato casserole, rolls, green beans, baked corn, cranberry salad, hot crab dip and crackers, pumpkin pie, pecan pie (which we have every year and I steal a piece for my MIL), cheese cake...Just listing it makes me hungry again.

It was so nice to see everyone. My sister who lives in LA (the state not the city) and her husband were in town for the holiday. And we got to see the newest little one again. He is so tiny and cute. Hard to recall when the little prince was that age/size.

Hope everyone had a blessed Thanksgiving with loved ones and delish food.

Fun and games

I taught Morgan how to play Uno tonight. We had such fun. The score is 117 to 82, Little Prince. We are going to keep going until someone reaches 500. Wonder how many days that will take. Morgan is guessing 90-thousand.

I remember playing Uno when I was growing up. Over and over and over. As a pre-little-prince "awwww" side note: the first weekend I came up to visit Reese and meet his parents, the four of us played Uno on their back deck in the warm Labor Day sun. I'd love even a dot of that warmth now. *sigh* Well, maybe not NOW since it is 10:18 pm. That would be a little weird. However, weather world is calling for a sunny weekend, so I'm going to enjoy it to the max!! Even if I will be stuck inside for most of the morning/afternoon at the Reading Festival in the mall. Maybe my table will be under a skylight...

The Last Roses

The other morning we saw the sun. Yea, I know, do a happy dance. But, seriously, it had been a while. It was cool out, but the sun was shining and I was low on Vitamin D, so I stood on the front porch and watched Morgan at the bus stop. Usually I hide inside the door and peek out every minute or so to make sure he's still there. I need to set up a mirror like my Mom had when I was taking the bus to school. But I digress...

As I stood on the porch enjoying the rays, I noticed my miniature rose bush. The one out of 3 that I have yet to kill with my brown thumb. It was beautiful. Even with all the cold weather we'd been having, it was still going strong. So I ran in for my camera and tried to capture the glory of summer. Just for a moment, it was there. And I was happy.
