HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

The girls couldn't come for Thanksgiving, so we invited some other folks who were "family-less" for Thanksgiving too.  We spared a turkey's life and had only veggies.  The dressing didn't have enough broth and was too dry, but other than that, the food was passable.  Alas, we have done better.  What with going to New York and St. Simons' for several years, sort of got out of practice of making good dressing.  The boys enjoyed themselves, though.  They didn't like getting banished during the meal to avoid tripping someone or getting stepped on, but they got to greet and mingle before and after the meal.  Andy even got to "show off" his animal fetching prowess.  Roy was frustrated that he didn't get to show off his tricks, but they are all running and fetching,which is kind of difficult in the living room.  I hope everyone had a sumptuous meal and good company for the holiday; for we all have much for which to be grateful. 

FALL

Andy and Roy are posing in front of one of our many Sasanquas in the yard.  We have pink ones and white ones.  They are all in full bloom and are quite spectacular to see.

Obama victory

The boys were not too happy being squished in my Obama T-Shirt, but they were certainly happy that Obama won.  When the election was called at 11:00 p.m., I jumped up and screamed in elation, they were confused and startled that Mom was acting so crazy.  They settled down and were content that we were content.  A glass of champagne followed, but they didn't get any.  New direction, new leadership, new ideas, renewed hope in America's greatness.  Let's support our new president elect and pray for him daily.
