Thanksgiving

Well, we didn't make plans for Thanksgiving hoping that life would be very different around here, in fact it is not. This house is running very smoothly. I don't think I've ever had every errand I could think of done before like this, it is actually quite nice.

For Thanksgiving we headed to Grandma's house, as usual it was full of family and dogs. Grandpa was feeding Ginger from his plate, he noticed she didn't like eating off his spoon so he hand fed her, on the way home from a hike yesterday she didn't want to sit in the back seat so Mom let her sit next to her, I think Ginger would be insulted if you called her a dog anymore, she is The Princess.

Thanksgiving was fun, here is a little poem Grandpa wrote about our impending family, take it with a grain of salt, Seth is quite fond of it, and my Mom laughs as it so I will post it here:

A Little Drop of Brandy

3 years married and not a child in sight.

Becky whispered to daughter Bonnie, "Is husband Seth alright?"

Oh Mother dear Mother, Seth is trying so,

My dear Seth is so tired he is always on the go.

You must build him up dear daughter on vitamins if he be low.

Be sure he has plenty of ventilation, jockey shorts will have to go.

Give him a dram of brandy before you go to bed, it worked with your father that is enough said.


No baby yet, 41 weeks and counting. We'll post as soon as there is some action. Until than I spose we will keep the fire going and enjoy all this new snow, go on long walks and catch up on reading.

The pictures are of the Thanksgiving table and of Seth making his eggnog. Seth makes this eggnog every year, fresh raw eggs and lots of sugar are the key ingredients, Grandma even gets special cream from the local dairy for the occasion.
