Thanksgiving in Texarkana

We had a wonderful getaway in Texarkana. It was nice to just kick back for a few days from the rat race of work & school. We ate good food, played cards, went 4-wheeling & rode Train ~ Anecia's marshmallow lovin' horse.

Mamaw spoils everyone rotten!

Hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving as well!

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

Friday, November 10

It's been a bit of a whirlwind on the homefront but it's all good:

W's grandparents and Aunt & Uncle were in town from OH ~ it was so nice to have them here & show them a lil southern hospitality. Can you see where W gets his good looks!? :))

Z-man's band functions have been in full swing and tomorrow's a really big day - regional band tryouts. He's been working on his pieces for 12 weeks and tonight we had him perform a family preview - to much grinning and applause of course. :) I think I'm more nervous than he is. Here's a recent pic at a football game.

W's softball season has wound down until spring. No hibernation for him tho - he plans to take this break to improve some achey joints so he can hit more homers next season. Stud! :) Tomorrow's a big day for him as well - one year closer to 40 but don't tell him - it might mess up his game. Ry, W & T after their tourney.

Other than keeping up w/my boys, my world has been all homework & subbing at the HS. Patti & I did get to squeeze in some q.t. w/ our good friend Suzanne b4 she moved to Chicago. *le sigh* I miss her and hate I won't get to see her baby arrive. But as Suze says, "no worries." Our paths will cross again and she better be holding tickets to Oprah! xo

I saw a sign last week that said "55 days until Christmas." That freaks me out a little. I'm just putting away all things ghoulish and planning Thanksgiving's menu with Mamaw - how can it be almost Christmas? Better get that wish list off to Santa soon. What's at the top of your list this season?
