3 Months!

Thanksgiving 2025

We were delighted to have Savannah and Mason spend Thanksgiving with us! We did a spread for the day so we'd have some tasty things to munch on while we watched Stranger Things and a little football.

We had Coco for the week since the Clarks were celebrating Thanksgiving in sunny Florida.

For some reason this is the only picture I have of our Thanksgiving dinner! And it's the prep work, not even the finished product.

The dogs were extremely hopeful! We got our turkey and several of the sides from City BBQ this year which was an absolutely brilliant idea!

We were definitely missing the boys! Thank goodness for technology these days!

Noah's "big neck" got the hilarity going...

and then the fun began!

Savannah and I got a lot of reading done.

Mom and Bryan came up on Friday. We visited Dad's grave and gave him a new Christmas wreath...

and then had lunch at Chicken Salad Chick...or as Mason liked to put it - "a scoop of chicken salad on a leaf."

Every time she tried to eat.

Girls date Saturday morning to see Wicked...

with some Wicked refreshers from Dunkin'.

Every time he ate.

Coco cuddles.

Yet again, ha ha.

Mason and Savannah brought their cats along and they stayed in the game room. The last day they were here we let them wander to see how they would react to Cleo. They were very hesitant and Luna definitely did not like Cleo!

It was such a lovely visit with them and I'm so grateful they live close enough where we can see them more often.

Wedding Weekend

Getting fueled up for our road trip to Maryland!

We arrived in Maryland a little earlier than expected so we decided to swing by our old house and surprise Merly and Ador. Ador was the only one home and he was so excited to see us that he teared up!

We didn't have time to visit for very long but I promised I would go back after dinner to see Merly. First stop was my hotel to drop stuff off and then I dropped Savannah at Michaela's and headed to Lemon N' Ginger to meet up with friends for dinner. Tracy stopped by for a few minutes but unfortunately couldn't stay.

Awwww, my favorite sushi in the whole world!

I had the best time visiting with these lovely ladies! I miss them so much so I'm grateful we had time to eat well and catch up!

Last stop of the night - give Merly a big hug.

Savannah spent the night at Michaela's with all the other bridesmaids and caught a ride up to Pennsylvania with them so I was on my own until the wedding. I was able to meet up with Kim for breakfast and a much needed catch up!

And then it was time for the wedding! The location was stunning in all its fall glory, and, although it was a tad cold, everyone looked beautiful. It was such a happy moment!

The rest of the evening was spent catching up with some old friends, mainly the Finnegans and Coach Paul and his new wife, enjoying the good food, and some music and dancing.
