From our lunch date with Granny Jo last weekend.

Is there a napkin over there?

He loved hanging out with his granny. And I’d like to point out that we did not shave his head. He’s just went bald on that side of his head. What hair he does have growing back is blonde, so you can barely see it.

For the holiday, we’ve got Dave’s parents here and Granma as well. Yay for Mom and Gene, who drove up to Virginia Beach on Wednesday and brought Granma back!

It has been such a beautiful day out! The weather was perfect! We spent a few hours on the front porch enjoying the day.

The cats got to enjoy the lovely weather, as well, with a mega-dose of outdoor time on the front lawn, eating grass and chasing leaves in the wind.

Several hours later, we sat down to a lovely Thanksgiving day meal. We had turkey, stuffing, potatoes, green beans, cranberries and chopped salad.

After dinner, and then dessert, everyone collapsed in front of the TV.

We didn’t plan to compete with high schoolers at dinner but tonight was Ring Dance. I don’t even know what that is. There were at least three big parties of high school students out on the town at Isle of Capri tonight. Look at this cute group!
They laughed that their picture would appear on the internet. Little did they know! ;)

Later, back at home, Granma and Jeni having cocktails watching Il Divo.

Today we went to visit the masoleum of my grandfather and great-grandmother. We stopped and got some Gerber daisies to leave on their graves.


To Grandmother’s house we go! We left after work and arrived late last night, then had to go fetch some friends at the airport who Granma had promised she would pick up and take home.

Today we plan to hang out and catch up, and then maybe we’ll have a nice dinner out at her favorite restaurant, The Isle Of Capri. We go early and always get a window seat so we can watch the ocean.

We haven’t seen Granma since early last fall, though I can’t rememer exactly when it was we saw her. We missed her at both holidays because we went to Portland with my mom to visit my brother and his family for Thanksgiving, and then Granma went to Portland for Christmas. Like two ships passing in the night.

It was Dave who finally got us up here for the weekend. Yay Dave!! He’s so good to my family, it’s crazy. I’m starting to think Granma likes him more than she likes me. ;)

Granma knows how much we love the birds, so she got us this amazing hummingbird feeder for Christmas. She loves to spoil Dave!

You can’t imagine how heavy this sucker is, really. We hung it on the front porch because we were worried about wind in the backyard. Now, we just need some hummers to show up!
