My sister had major back surgery in October and was not going to be able to do much for several months. Our middle son was off working and wasn't home and our sweet daughter in law and 2 of the granddaughters took a trip out to San Diego with her mom for the week of Thanksgiving. We usually go meet with my sister and her family for Christmas but with Sonny having his other knee replacement on December 11, we knew we would not be able to go anywhere for Christmas. So I prepared Thanksgiving dinner and we took it over to my sister's house and spent the day with her, her husband and son and our youngest son Sean, DIL Carmen and DGD Molly. We had a wonderful time. Carmen had a timer to take a photo of all of us together. And the weather was gorgeous.
And yes there was still a little fall color left in our area. Not so much now.
Here are a few more photos.
Me and my son Sean and Miss Molly and then Molly with my sister Susan.

Another thing I forgot to put up a while ago...we had another bear sighting. Now we think they have gone into hibernation as none has been seen in about a month. But this one was so funny and looked like he was posing.
*************
They had to take down the feeders until the bears went to bed as they were tearing them up so bad. Speaking of feeders and deer...Sonny has had a wonderful hunt this year and tagged out. First time for him to ever do that. All the meat is in the freezer but still needs to be processed into hamburger and sausage and steaks. We did smoke some for Thanksgiving and it was wonderful. But he is thrilled over his head mounts. He does all his mounts the European method which is bare skull mounted on wood block. Most he hangs on our porch wall but these this year have gone up in our living room.

I finished all the books and decided they were a little too overstuffed so am taking some pages out and making a couple of extras as know they will make easy last minute gifts for Christmas.

Now I'm working on using up tee-shirt scraps...crocheting them into a bath rug. Also working on the wedding ring quilt top for my one granddaughter getting married next year and a baby quilt for another DGD due this spring. Photos will come later.
