At first, I resented a smoked turkey because
there is no gravy or stuffing from the bird.
After a few years of this, I have learned
that not having a bird hogging the oven
makes the day so much better.
Another big factor is that a smoked turkey is fabulous!

can you find the little tiny starfish?
It walks all over the tank and this night my camera caught it.

Nathan will be blessed while we are here.

She lives two blocks away.
She also brought a lot of our Thanksgiving dinner.
She would have liked to have been one, too.
Corinne left DC for her flight out of BWI three hours early,
but traffic was terrible because of two wrecks.
Her plane departed 3 minutes after she boarded.
as I did with one my grandmother had.

and said they were "Best Buddies."
(Matt took this picture.)
The night Corinne left, Jacob said the family prayer.
Papa Ben asked Jacob to pray for Corinne to land safely.
He said,
"Bless my best buddy to land safely."
I did some bonding, too.
Chinese checkers is harder than I remembered.
But I still won most games.
Everyone went out to shoot up rockets
except for me and Nathan.
Lots of mosquitoes right now.
Jacob got in some fancy swinging.
Notice the fence. Ike was here.
The neighbors are planning a fencing party on an upcoming weekend.
One of the reasons I love to visit David,
besides his fish tanks, the beach, Mary, the kids and the fun,
is that David makes me ice cream.
This is chocolate custard toffee.
Definitely worth the trip!
Ben and I will head for home early Monday morning.
