Nov. 13, my niece, Brooke was in from
Las Vegas. We spent Friday making our holiday sticky buns together. It was Brooke, her sister Ashley and I. The girls did a great job. The following day we had what is known in our family as the annual
Thankstweenie celebration. What we do is celebrate Thanksgiving in between Halloween and Thanksgiving when Brooke can be with us and then again at Thanksgiving. Both times the whole family is invited.
I thought this was a good picture of our daughter Michelle and our grand daughter, Carissa .
Featured above my sister, Jill, her husband, Barry, son, Nigel and daughters, Ashley and Brooke.
As usual there is never enough to eat at these affairs.
Brooke, Nigel and Ashley
Brooke and her very good friend Amanda. Best friends since High School. So she always come in to see Brooke when she is home.
Brooke who is handbag buyer for
Zappos blessed me with this lovely
Baggallini bag. My early Christmas present.
These pictures were taken at Thanksgiving. We celebrated Christmas with our children then since we were going to be away for Christmas.
Two of our grand daughters,
Hollyn and Izzy.
The gangs all here. We had 17 humans that day and 3 dogs. Mass confusion and such fun. Each
Holiday with the children and grand children is
so special. We had a wonderful day.
We opened our Christmas presents after dinner.

Nicky is such a
beggar on Thanksgiving day.
The following day Lee was busy with our neighbor lumbering our trees. Jim Tull will appreciate the amount of lumber we got off these trees.
This is our grandson, Garrett running the
skitter. He takes directions extremely well.
Behind Garret is a solar field put in on land we sold to the county. They are
generating electricity to support all administrative buildings. It has been extremely
successful and they are planning on expanding it. Nicky and I often walk across this field and I have noticed that even on a cloudy or rainy day it still generates power. Heavy rain is the only thing that kicks it out.
This is a portable saw mill brought in by our neighbor.
We left home the Tuesday after Thanksgiving. It was beautiful and 64 degrees. We were not on the road long before the rain began and it got considerably cooler. We spent the first night in Virginia and it was cold. The next morning we took off and as we entered Georgia we started to see snow. Is was beginning to think we were headed in the wrong direction.
We stopped at a rest stop about 1 1/2 hours out of Madison (our stop for the night) and when we got back in the RV it would not start. It would not ever start with
auxiliary batteries. Lee ended up jumping it. As we traveled down the road I found a dealer in Madison got their number and told them our problem. They said they could look at it tomorrow morning. They invited us to spend the night in the lot and offered to hook us up to electric and water. This is the second time we have been so impressed with Georgia hospitality. The next morning they hooked it up to the diagnostics and could find nothing wrong. It usually cost $70.00 just to hook it up to diagnostics but they didn't charge a thing.
Just before we had arrived in Madison, GA we saw the most incredible sunset. God had worked out the
dilemma of where to go to have things checked out on theRV and then blessed us with this sunset.
Thursday we arrived at Don and Lois Waltz's house. You can see the RV parked in their driveway.
Of course, Lee could not be still so they worked together and took out a couple of stumps.
Anyone who knows Lois knows what a fabulous cook she is. What we didn't know is what a good cook Don is. We are so thrilled for Lois and her new kitchen. As much time as she spends in the kitchen she deserves to have a kitchen that is so efficient to work in.
Lois and Don have been painting the outside of the house and Lee and Don are taping the shades so he can finish painting them. Don't you just love that step stool?.
We say good-bye to Don and Lois being with them is like being with family. They are so easy to be with. Thanks again you two for a wonderful 4 days.
Nicky will miss hanging out with Toby.
