The day after Thanksgiving

Black and "Red" cows - just what Danny likes. Texas Tech Colors!

Thanksgiving was great here. Lots of friends and family. We missed John and Tanna and Dani, and of course the Cleveland bunch. This year Medina's mom and sister and nephew came for the first time and Xavier's Aunt Debbie and cousin James. The missionaries also joined us, as did Tony and Lisa. Poor Lisa spent most of her visit here cleaning up after me. It was great from my stand point!

The weather was wonderful, Danny, Tony, Beezer, and Greg played golf in the morning and the kids played outside a lot during the day. Boo was stuck in the back yard - when he wasn't sneaking out to bother the neighbors. He was a little crazy, wanting to get in where everything smelled so good.

It's strange to think that the year is almost over. So much has happened this year and we have so many plans for the next one. Danny, of course, wants to travel in his "portable apartment". He's planning a trip to either Oklahoma or New Mexico after Christmas - or maybe on New Years. Then he wants to go to Utah at the end of January. I'm a bit worried about riding on mountain roads in the winter but I can keep my eyes closed. After all, my grandpa did it all the time in his motor home. I'll have to post a follow up showing how all that turned out.
