Thanksgiving & other end of June Happenings


Greetings

The Grands headed back home.  Security was very kind & patient helping get their backpacks checked.


Grands ready to board their flight.  I had to wait till they 
were up up & away on their way before leaving the airport.


Grandkids

We took the Grands camping out at the lake.  Kevin & I had not camped there before, so it was a new camping spot for all of us.

Warming by the campfire 1st thing in the morning.

Our camping spot overlooking the lake.



 Cooking

I cooked a turkey & we had Thanksgiving.  Kevin said "Happy Thanksgiving" & we each took a turn saying something we were thankful for. 


Wildflower bouquet fresh cut to go with our Thanksgiving dinner.


  The Grands made this Apple cake from scratch.

the others took turns being silly, adding ingredients & mixing.


Gardening

We are finally seeing some growing progress.  Kevin is watering most everyday.

Cleaning


Washing up the camp dishes.



Health & Weight Maintenance

I got this while out walking, though I was in search of cactus blooms.


Frugality, Savings & Spending

Free entertainment while camping watching the birds feed their
young, flying in & out over the picnic table.  



Social & Community Service Activities

Giving driving tips.



Other Activities

The Grands got me started watching The Office.  We watched several seasons together, now I want to go back & start watching from the beginning.


Reading while the Grands take a dip. I just started the 7th book in
the Little House series.

Chicken fight!


These are some of the things that's been going on in my neck of the woods, how about you?

  1. I bet your house was awful quiet when all that energy left. How nice to have your own Thanksgiving, complete with lovely bouquet. And the apple cake looks scrumptious. Glad all the fellas got in on the baking.

    1. Yes, very quiet & somewhat of a lonely feeling. Those boys ate several helpings of turkey & we had leftovers for several days. The boys helped prep & prepare lots of our meals, chopping, slicing, stirring & making sweet tea.
