Project 365 Week 28

If you remember, I got sick last Sunday evening.
hmmmm.
I didn't take photos while I was not feeling well.
So this week starts on Wednesday, when I was feeling better!

Wednesday, November 25
Our drive to Oklahoma for Thanksgiving.
This is the casino just past the Texas / Oklahoma border.
It is huge.
And easier to see than the sign that says,
"Welcome to Oklahoma"
which is what I was going to take a picture of, but missed!

Thursday, November 26
Rebecca and Aunt Debbie and Uncle Mike's dog Isabelle.
(Izzie for short)
They were together most of the day.

Except when Rebecca was daydreaming about the horses in the backyard!

Uncle Fred (my husband) helping
his great niece with her shoes!
This cutie pie is the newest edition to the family!

Here is the chaos right before dinner!
Matthew was in charge of the turkey and spilled a little of the drippings into the oven.
We teased him relentlessly about the smoke!

Friday, November 27
My sweet and beautiful niece.

Saturday, November 28
We came home so that we could start decorating for Christmas.
One of our family traditions is to have homemade sugar cookies when we decorate the tree.
Rebecca (and Josh was here too) did the honors.

Sunday, November 29
While Fred and I were out to see a movie (we went to see New Moon)
Rebecca put the garland on the mantle.
She also did some of the other decorating also...for which I was VERY grateful.
Josh came over to see the finished project.
(well, he was really bringing her home for the evening and we drug him in to see the house!)

Another week in pictures!
Blessings,

A smoked house for Thanksgiving...maybe it is an American tradition...I caught some pot holders on fire as I was trying to take something out of the oven...smoked us up a bit. Looks like a fun Thanksgiving.....lots of little cuties involved. Hope you have a grand week Liz.

I Close My Eyes

Well, I did it. I took the writer's challenge at a blog that I have been lurking around for some time. I found this blog through Laura at Wellblog 's place and have been enthralled ever since. I have dabbled in poetry on and off. Written some invitations, cards, and even a few song lyrics (for fun) but have been hesitant to post any. (roaring lion? see below post ) With the encouragement of a friend, I decided to take the challenge on L.L.Barkat's blog, in a lesson on seeing. I chose a subject that is cherished, a memory that was real and something close to my heart. The beach. Many, many days were spent at the beach in the 12 years I lived on the Southern Virginia coast. The memories are real, and when.......... I close my eyes and I can still see the beach. The endless spans of water Sometimes blue, green, or gray. It moves Gently and Violently Bubbles rise and falling forward. On and on. I close my eyes and I can still hear the crash Of tidal movement As earth slowly spi...

A Promise is a Promise (Grand Canyon)

Many years ago, I am guessing about 19 of them, our family visited the Grand Canyon for one day, on the way home from a trip to California to visit family.  Our eldest son was around 11, our middle one around 9, and our baby was a little over a year old.  Our boys wanted desperately to hike into the canyon, but our oldest one especially so.  He pleaded and my husband and I held firm our "No" as our youngest was too young and we were not outfitted for such an adventure.  I promised that we would return one day. A few months later we moved to the East Coast of Virginia.  Not planned when we stood at the edge of the canyon and that promise was made. And the many times we planned vacation time to the beach, our son reminded me of that promise to go the the Grand Canyon. Time flew quickly and years later we had not returned to the Grand Canyon.  But, we did move to Texas and as we looked at spending time as a family, our oldest son brought this promise bac...
