We just rolled back into town yesterday after spending a great weekend in Bryan, TX and have big plans to spend the rest of the week making some memories and enjoying family and friends.

I hope y’all do the same.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving, Melanie. Think of me as I’m getting snowed on in upstate New York. One of the few downsides of having married a Yankee:)

Take care and enjoy making memories with family and friends.
Blessings always,

I took my Caroline to the Aggie/Baylor game. We had tickets in the former student section and were told not to wear our BU gear. The people couldn’t have been nicer though. We were undercover until everyone in the stadium put their arms around each other and began to sing about UT. When Baylor folk put their arms around each other and sing, it’s Kum By Yah or something.

Baylor football is pitiful .. sorry it wasn’t a better game. Y’alls football is OK, but your BAND?! My goodness, that was worth the trip!

We ate dinner at Christopher’s. It was one of THE best meals I have ever eaten in my life. We stopped at the Dixie Chicken to pick up my Caroline a t-shirt and declared it a great day.

What a cute picture. I miss the days of a hand print turned into a turkey and headdresses of construction paper feathers. They do grow up fast. Have a great day y’all!!

Hope y’all have a wonderful Thanksgiving. And good luck on your hamster mission. I’ve told dh to be on the look out when he gets in the stores on Black Friday. We will be in touch if he can get one for y’all.

I had to comment that Caroline looks so grown up in this picture. She is adorable and seems like she has so much personality. I continue to love your posts. My granddaughter and I always say you need to write a book. We’d be first in line at the book signing. Happy Thanksgiving back at ya.
