329/365 Thanksgiving

The day didn't quite turn out like it was supposed to. My mom was feeling rough from her battle with pneumonia, L was recovering from a scary night where we almost ended up in the ER with his breathing and a mystery fever, and my sister was too sick to come. V and I set out in the morning for breakfast...

I ordered something normal though a bit more plentiful on the meat than I usually order

Thanksgiving Day Breakfast at Cisco's

and he decided to go crazy and order a dish his dad loved, tomato gravy on biscuits.

He said it never looked like that when his dad made it and I commented I'd never seen it look like that anytime I'd seen it eaten. Ew. Yes, he ate it, saying it tasted better than it looked.

After the breakfast we did a bit of shopping, then before heading home stopped by a local grocery to pick up the Thanksgiving dinner my mom had pre-ordered. She had wanted a traditional, at home, Thanksgiving meals without any of the work. At least the ham tasted good. I'll let that stand as my only comment on the food.

Obligatory dogs with boys pic from when we took part of that meal out to my sister and BIL. Sharing the, uh, joy of such a meal with the sick is the sisterly thing to do, right?

Early in the evening we went down to the riverwalk just to get out of the house.

Lights on Blackwater

And thus another humid, hot, fall/winter holiday was done.

325/365 Gardening

My sister had some things to plant and asked the boys over to join her. G has been wanting that to happen, so he was extra happy about it. L lost interest after a bit and did his own thing.

We came home with the grossest looking home canned item ever, mullet.

324/365 Early Thanksgiving Meal

V's family came over and we had an early Thanksgiving meal together. It was nice, and the weather was perfect. After everyone was gone we went to the Riverwalk just to get out a bit.

322/365 Elementary School Thanksgiving Feast

It was fun to go have lunch with each of the boys. The food was less than impressive. They were out of the turkey in gravy when it was lunchtime for #2. I don't feel like he missed much.

There is so little color I feel compelled to shoot it when I see it.

This would have been a great shot if I'd been anywhere but in my mom's car with her driving.

304/365 Halloween!

There was a thread on a certain board I frequent that asked about anything odd in the children's trick or treat candy, and this is what I have to offer. I had no idea they packaged candy like this.

This one isn't new, they each got one last year.
