Last Saturday of Nov 2011.

Had a fun morning with the Lubbock folks...

Olive enjoying a cracker

Pez, please?



Ella hung the stockings with care.


Pez for Ella.





Yummy.


Too cute. Ella, not BoomPa.















Now that BoomPa has put the batteries in the various singing, horn playing, barking, and motor revving Christmas toys,








its time for him to get started on dinner...  chili, guacamole, etc.

Changing Seasons

Getting ready for overall cooler weather in Texas (meaning we'll still have occasional 80 or 90 degree days), entails cleaning, redressing and moving the plants from the patio into the Sun Room. Since the TV weathermen all agree we'll be getting hit by a cold front in the next 24 - 48 hours, I decided today was the day for the plant move.

T'is done. All that's left is to "sweep" the patio with the lawn blower.
