I'm Dreaming Of A White Thanksgiving

 

Our daughter and her fiancé came here for Thanksgiving.  They left their home in Northern Virginia on Tuesday night to avoid the projected snow.  Good thing, because it did snow!

Not a lot, but enough to build a snow man.

 

And enough that RJ was really, REALLY happy.

 

And enough that Tara and Greg could do a bit of sledding.  Don't worry.  They didn't have to climb up that steep hill.  Lee picked them up in the Mule.

 

Greg tried to stand on the sled and ride it down the hill like a snowboard, but the sled did not cooperate.  Maybe he'll bring his actual snowboard at Christmas. 

 

 

Then again, we have a ridge of rocks running along the bottom of the hill, so it will have opt be a LOT of snow.

The snow was gone in a few days, but the snowman lasted a lot longer.  Guess his Tech hat protected him from the heat.

 

RJ Gets A Visitor

 
RJ has been bored lately.  We no longer have horses for him to visit and play with.  And we are old, therefore, boring.

 

But, then things began looking up.  Our younger daughter us visited this weekend.  She will be doing her Physician's Assistant rotations soon and won't be able to visit us as often as we would like, so it was wonderful to see her and her fiancé.

 

We spent a good portion of her visit touring some local vineyards.  Tara and Greg are thinking of getting married in one and we thought some of the ones near us might work.  We thoroughly enjoyed the visit.

 


RJ was thrilled.  Especially when Tara and Greg took him for a walk.  Hurray for young people!
