Thanksgiving

What a busy week visiting with family. We had the holiday meal at my house and enjoyed Jeff, David, Mary, Kay and John being here. Turkeys were everywhere. Yes, we had a big turkey and also a tofurkey for the vegetarians and even turkey cookies from Mary's kitchen.


On Friday Mary fed us all with soup, sandwiches and veggies. The butternut squash was the best. Kelly and Sean had driven in from Austin and Will came from Fayetteville. Will could only stay one day but he was happy to see food and family.


Saturday night found most of us at Kay's enjoying pizza. John had gone on his annual deer hunt in south Texas. He was pleased to shoot an 8 point buck, a 10 point buck and a javelina. They were just trying to thin out the crop!


On Sunday we convened for brunch at Gilligan's. Cousin Andrew joined us from Dallas and then Kelly and Sean departed for Austin with it snowing outside. It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.

Kay did the best shopping on Black Friday. Her new purple shoes will be a hit!

Music Music Music

Did you ever wonder what song was the #1 hit the day you were born? Well this is mine. Definitely showing my age now, aren't I?

If you too are curious then this site will give you the information and take you right to itunes to get a copy .. how clever!

Back to Mac

Several years ago I switched to a PC for the trip software available after having used Macintoshes for years. Today I went to an estate auction to buy a car but the exciting part is that I now am a Mac person again .. and for $100. People that don't know Macs don't always realize the hard drive might be in the monitor so I was just buying a 20" monitor .. or so everyone else thought. Then I found out it is only 5 months old! How sweet!

What to throw away?!!!

Paula and Drew

What a treat to have a visit from our Fayetteville friends. Drew came to hang out with his cross country team at the state meet since he is injured and couldn't travel with the team. We enjoyed taking Paula to her first gallery walk and then supper at Brau Haus.

Horseshoe Trail

Susan and I went for a 3 mile hike on a mountain in Lake Catherine State park. We had hiked the 2 mile one on Sunday a week ago at the same place. I used to look forward to getting old so I could slow down, what happened? Susan?

My knee is great so now I have to get the rest of the body in shape. I'm overweight by about 15 lbs and it's all in my stomach. Susan and I finally have no hurts and it's time to get healthy. I also swim at the YMCA on Mondays and Fridays for exercize.

Susan was in front of me by about 50 feet and she didn't see the black racer. She must of just missed stepping on it.
