Thanksgiving 2019

           Thoroughly enjoyed a quiet day at home and didn't even do a lot of cooking or baking.  Some of my kids live far away , some were out of town and some were with their own parents so it was kinda nice not to have to rush around and do too much.
           Dad , Jen and I just totally relaxed and enjoyed a quiet day and watched a movie. 
I had Todd's boys for three days just before Thanksgiving so yes it was nice to just chill, although I did put up a few Christmas decorations!

Santa's Farm

    Today Jen and I got up and left the house at 10 A.M. to meet Kristen and Zack at Santa's Farm.
Beautiful morning for it with even a little breeze.  I have posted some pictures here of our outing and must say its a great place to take your kiddos.

Trip to Indiana

              This was a really fast trip to our old home town and a super great one like  Vincennes, Ind.
We filled every single day with fun during our trip and visiting family and friends and it was wonderful!! 
             Took us back to our beginning/ our youth and school reunion.  Vincennes really does a great job putting on a school reunion like no other place I know.  Even Bump thinks so.   Joe my brother knows everyone there I think. ha!
             Have to put a word in here and say that my brother Bump is the best driver ever!!  He was calm and relaxed at the wheel but also very aware of traffic around him / made it a enjoyable trip!
             While at Vincennes we drove all over the place and reminisced  about how it was way back when. We remember the street in our neighborhood looked so big to us and now it seemed so small, thinking about it i guess being kids it seemed that way and now as adults we go Wow this neighborhood and street look sooo small. Funny how our prospective changes as we get older.
  Here are a few pictures of our trip.

My brother Joe

                    

                       Joe in all his Glory!! 
                            He loves his hometown and loves the people in Vincenne Indiana!!!
             Every year when they celebrate class reunions he sits on this block and people flock to him.
        Guess there is something to be said about living all your life and growing up in a small  town!   

Love this and so true

 

"Now the years are rolling by me,

they are rocking easily

I am older than I once was

And younger than I’ll be

But that’s not unusual No, it  isn’t strange

After changes upon changes, we are more or less the same

Yes after changes upon changes we are more or less the same"

Axel Starts School

Stacey has been working non stop to get Axel ready for school and so thought would be nice to put in this picture of him all ready and anxious to start. When I ask him  what his teachers name was, without any hesitation he said Miss Ellis!  So happy for him! Enjoy school Axel and grandma is rooting for you!
