And so it begins...

15 today!

The boys, pouring over Johnny's new cards.

Percy!

Also known as "Little Cuddle-Muffin"! Andy's newest critter... He blends in with the hardwood floor grain!

Oh no...!

OH-Yes!

Let the games begin!

It's been 10 years since this matchup had such weight!

So, this was appropriate both then and now... :)

Don't they think they're big guys now...!?

We set up their own banking today...! Now they get to keep track of their own money. Although, they've been doing that for years now, at the "Daddy bank". So of course, they wanted to do their own checkout for Speedy Freezes. Of course, I still get the club points!

Wow! Yum! Thankful for God, life and family.

Andy had me leave a ninja at "work"

Thanksgiving 2016

Preparing for the annual grandkid picture

The kids are working on their own little projects, in the workshop.

Speaking of Algebra...!

The kids are doing algebra problems at the dinner table. :)

Thankfulness at my mom's

1. The sound of machinery in the workshop
2. Algebra
3. Inductive Bible study (G, E, P, C, 1&2 Th, 1 Timothy)

Andy and I are looking for the perfect material to make kendama pills...

She's making me sleepy too!

Close game...! I like the SkyCam feed though...

Seriously? 75° yesterday...

A family night out at SkyZone!

Andy and Emily playing his ninja game, he made up, last night

Sometimes, you just can't make it all the way to the next room...!

Just say awwwwww.

75 degrees yesterday, 26 tomorrow?!

Fall Sunset. Happy Birthday, my dear sister! :)

Andy and I went for a little walk, in town, this morning.

The cat's tempting me to just stay in my chair, with her, instead of getting up and getting something done!

I guess the word is out! Here come the other neighbors! ;)

Here come the neighbors again!

They seem to like the high grass in our rock garden. Probably full of bugs!

A least I know 550 paracord will stop a 20,000 RPM spinning mower blade!

Andy found a little prank, left in the grass, by his cousin! ;)

Starting to look a lot like fall, around here!

What a nice day for an afternoon walk in the park

Andy's football team party at SkyZone

Burning out the neighbor's tree stump

THIS is MY idea of healthy food! Sign even says so!

Johnny's birthday party was a hit. Are you one of THEM!?

Pinny in full "threat display"

She decided she didn't like Julie's finger, all of a sudden!

These things are amazing!

Meet Pinny!

Julie's Thistle Mantis

Free fire!

Finishing up the marshmallows from Johnny's party.

Perfect night for roasting marshmallows in the neighbors tree stump!

Seriously?! I guess I'm celebrating my first senior discount, today!

25 cents for a cup of coffee. I could get used to that! ;)

One hour and twenty minutes. I walked in at 6:30.

Interesting controversy as the precinct B ballot scanner was down. They were wheeling in a replacement by the time I left. The police were even on the scene. For the most part, the election officials handled it well. The only exception being, the director noticed a problem last night but apparently didn't take any action until voters were upset this morning, from what I could tell (and heard the election officials saying). She was wondering, allowed, why he hadn't done something about it last night.

The line, pictured, goes around the entire perimeter of the right wing of the library. To their credit, they kept it moving at a reasonable pace.

The boy loves his cat!

Getting ready for a birthday party!

DQ & short sleeves, in November!?

Hanging out with my boys, in my hometown.

Loch Ness belt buckle!

Breakfast for 30 cents, this week. An employee perk I don't get to enjoy too often.

Feeling the blues?

I'm happy to be home, after a two-day trip, back to the mother ship (HQ in Boston), this week.
