A Day To Be Thankful – The Day After

Our kids prefer to visit with us when it’s just them so we get maximum exposure to one another, and as I’ve thought about it, I agree. So, son, Eric, Ann and their two kids, Matthew and Sophia, and daughter, Wende, came down here on Friday for a repeat of our Thanksgiving day meal (reheated leftovers).

And if I’m asked what I did after a busy three days of making the Thanksgiving meal happen – the answer is - a relaxing visit and meal, and this.

Sophia wanted to cuddle under the blanket.

On my way to the mailbox that day, I noticed two Blue Jays flitting around in a couple of dogwood trees. Since they still had a few leaves until the past couple of days, I hadn’t noticed the abundance of bright red berries – these are loaded while some others have none.

And what did I do Saturday, you asked – some serious laying around here at Almost Heaven South with my darlin and watched a some college football.

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by.

    Cute pics! This is the first year that I have noticed berries on our dogwoods. I must be incredibly unobservant!

    My laying around started today, company gone, and so sad to have them gone.

    You have a great life there my friend!

    It looks like the perfect way to spend the day after Thanksgiving.

    The best part of Thanksgiving is the day or 3 after with no big obligations to anyone! Cute grandchildren.
