| Buffy, Madison and her dad Scott. My cousin
Scott served 3 tours in Iraq and is now a Helicopter pilot instructor
stateside - thank goodness. He was a medi-vac helicopter pilot -
perhaps one of the most dangerous jobs in the war. We are all
thrilled he is back safely and was able to come to Thanksgiving with us
all. |
I don't know how...but
Timmy and Freedom knew they were missing out on a feast! Later, Freedom
made his rounds without my permission. He is taking that name a
bit too seriously. |

| My Aunt Wanda & her daughter
Jessica on the carport. |
Briggs sporting his Fall colors! |

I love how the lattice porch throws those great shadows on the floor and
walls. |
Graham, his dad Steve & Graham's
roommate Nathan. |

Another slightly blurry picture. Sorry. Miriam and I gave that Weeping
Willow to my mom when she retired. Only a couple years
ago. Okay...maybe a few years longer than that. Wow, time
passes doesn't it?...especially when you are having fun! |
My Uncle Melvin (Alba's husband).
He's holding his grandchild Wyatt. |

Behind my cabin walking down to
the creek/dam.
Graham with Kyra & McKenzie. |
We walked down to the old dam site and creek. This
picture was actually a little bit earlier in the fall but I didn't have
any from Thanksgiving this year.
Those fall pictures are here. |

McKenzie and Allison & Caroline Barnette
walking with Freedom. |
I took this picture from the top of the dam. |

vroom vroom vroom with the tractor. Huh, Uncle Melvin? |
Grahams really got a way with
the ladies. |

| Heading down to Elizabeth's on
the Hayride. This is a picture of the approaching storm (that
never happened) over a neighbor's house. Lauren & her sister Kylie
are on the far right. Caleb is in orange shirt. I think that
is Caroline Barnette sitting straight up looking to her left in the left
side of the photo. |
Hey -
Adults can enjoy a good hayride too!! Here we are in front of our
(Miriam & Daniel's)
renovated cabin. Enlarge the picture and check out how
everyone's smiling. It really was a nice time huh?
Pictured in front row is Kyle, Nathan, Paige, Tracie, Miriam, Mom, Dad,
Chris & Robbie (both are Mike's sons). In back row from left
to right you can see Buffy (grahams mom) standing, Graham, Paige (Alba's
daughter), top of Ben's head, side of one of (Carter?) Audrey's
triplets, Karen & her daughter Talia, and Karen's mom Janie. |

Hayride into the eye of the
storm that magically disappeared.
An apt representation of the weather threat the entire day. That's my
dad's brother Bennett turning around. |
Mom and Dad (Frances & Wallace) on the
hayride in front of my house. I know they loved everybody coming
and having such a good time. Thanks mom & dad! |
