On Tuesday, November 19 I looked out and there were 6 swans a swimming...we have never had swans on the lake...ok enough with the songs. But they are beautiful and huge. They made the Canada Geese look small.
Friday, November 21 Ashley had Bryan and I over for dinner. It was delicious and I got some grandcat time with Dave.
Bryan's friend, Chan, dropped a statue that he had in his office so Monday Bryan repaired it for him. It went from lots of pieces to you can't even tell it was broken. Impressive.
Tuesday, November 25 I decorated some cookies for placecards at our Thanksgiving dinner.
Wednesday, November 26 there was no school so all the kids and Poppy came out to my house. We made waffles.
They boys taught Poppy how to use the remote control Bigfoot. Then staged a battle between Bigfoot and T-Rex.
Amiah went up and found her matching shirt to my flannel.
Then she dug out an old sweatshirt of Boden's and put it on Poppy so she matched also.
They decorated Thanksgiving cookies.
Extreme concentration for about 45 minutes. I was impressed.
Then they all decided to "rest" on the loveseat. That lasted about 5 seconds...
Then it was Thanksgiving Day, November 27 ...over the river and through the woods to Grandmother's house she went.
Ashley is being thrilled that we are all there.
Trey is entertaining me with stories while I finish cooking.
Who can resist when she walks up hugs your legs and says "Up please!" Not me.
While we were cleaning up she found a leg bone and started chewing on it. Then she decided I needed to try it.
Note the wonderful son-in-law back there doing dishes!! He's a keeper!
Bobbi was entertaining Oliver. Oli looks thrilled...
Bryan looks thrilled to have his picture taken...
These two were having a moment together.
Bobbi and Travis had an evening Thanksgiving with his family and so did Jayme and Trey so they all left in the early afternoon. I finished the few dishes that Travis didn't get done and when I walked into the family room this is what I saw...
Mae
Oliver...
Bryan...
I flopped down and joined the club!
Today, Friday, November 28 I was writing this blog during the Nebraska game, got distracted by the tie game and all and accidently deleted the blog I had written so this is a re-write.
Today is traditionally Tree Day (The day we put up the Christmas Tree in the Clark house) but you may notice I had it up on Thanksgiving. I just didn't decorate it. So tonight the girls were all going to be here. Ashley stayed over last night but poor Jayme woke up this morning extremely sick with the stomach flu so she is staying home. Trey had to go to work (Kay's Jewelers in Oakview Mall, Omaha) at 4:00 a.m. until 5:30 p.m. Yowza! No thanks. Poor guy. Life as an assistant manager. Bobbi had clients until 2:30 so she will be out in a bit and Travis had to go to work and sell cars on this crazy day. Life is changing but traditions are what they are because we make them and we will adapt and create new facets to them.
