Having the House family Thanksgiving today...love having our whole family together, first time ever!

So...I'm taking a break from blogging the next few days to hang with my peeps! See you Monday...YIKES, I think that's DECEMBER!!!

Wishing you and yours a very, very...

Happy Thanksgiving!

My PEEPS are here!!!  

My sister Maria and her family from Florida and my brother Mark and his gang from Texas have all descended on Mama and Dad's homeplace on the County Line Road for Thanksgiving week.

And last night, we hit up Top Hat Pizza King for supper.  That restaurant may never be the same...

I don't know what came over me, but I hardly got my camera out at our Gray family Thanksgiving dinner over the weekend.  I think I was talking (imagine that!) too much!

Our date for Friday night...our grandson 9 1/2-month-old Krew.

Do not let those big blue eyes and angelic face fool you.  Oh yes, they fool me every day.

This little sweetheart is an imp!

This is one of those mornings when I sit down to write my blog post and I got nothin' to write about.

I haven't taken any photos for a couple of days...(what is wrong with me?!)...so instead of looking at a lot of nothingness, I borrowed this adorable photo my friend Dave took of some of the babies at their Mahali pa Maisha infant rescue center.

There's something very special about waking up to the first snow of the season.

I forgot to ask anyone to take our photo, so I was glad to get this one posted on my Facebook timeline...me and Kim carrying our banner in the parade.

It was a cold, polar-vortex kinda day, but at least the sun was shining on downtown New Castle for the annual Christmas Parade.
