11 years ago today we were married during a ferocious Pacific Northwest snowstorm. Little did we know that we’d soon end up in Rochester, NY where feet of snow were a common way of life. Happy anniversary to us!
The last time we talked about our remodel was way back in September, after the new floor had gone down. I’m happy to say that we’re done – at last!
All good things must come to an end and so, too, did our trip to Georgia for Thanksgiving. Not before we were able to take in a few more sights and visit some old friends, though!
If you’ve seen “Band of Brothers” then the name Currahee will be familiar. Easy Company was forced to repeatedly run the mountain while training for WWII. While we were in Toccoa for Christmas I decided to tackle Currahee Mountain myself.
In years past we would regularly have over a dozen folks over for an extra large lunch. As family members aged and passed or moved away the crowd on Thanksgiving day steadily shrank. This year Thanksgiving felt a bit more like old times.
If there are two things Henry love they are cars and tractors. He was in luck, then, on this last visit to the farm where he was able to ride both on Granpa’s tractor and do a little digging on the backhoe.
I visited Broad River Bison earlier this summer during a surprise visit and met my Dad’s bison for the first time. They were a little scrawny in the heat of the summer so I was excited to see what they would look like with their winter coats on.
If it is Thanksgiving and we’re in Atlanta that can only mean one thing… our annual visit to the Pink Pig! Emma and Henry had a good time riding the Pig, though Henry did seem to think it was a little loud.
We went to Georgia this year for an extended vacation before and after Thanksgiving. The first weekend we were there Emma and Henry had 4 other little cousins to run around play with during an unusually warm November afternoon.
Our holiday party is typically the one time of year when our mostly t-shirt and jeans crowd actually puts on collared shirts or – gasp – a dress. In addition to the “adult” dress-up we also did a little make believe dress-up for our Rock Band competition.
