Rice, noodles, and spicy chicken is Elijah's favorite lunch at Ocha Deli, our fave Thai restaurant. He gets his own tray and orders what he wants. He is one cool dude. Love him!

Day Three Hundred Twenty One
Postcards From A Chilly Gray November Day
Little stone birdie matches the colors of the day.
Eddie is poised to leap at a real little birdie up in the tree far out of his reach. "Yellows and grays paint a sad sky today...." (lyrics from a Dan Fogelberg song--I miss Dan.)
Elijah hangs on to his stuffed Teddy bear while watching 'Scooby Doo On Zombie Island'. The love affair with Scooby and The Gang continues.
Shelby was inspired by something or someone at school today to draw some Christmas candy art. Sharpies are her favorite markers and here I snapped her picture asking me which one would work as violet. She makes the best pictures. Granny didn't get this one. She took it home. And here it is on a Tuesday in November at 4:40 PM. Almost dark. The nights are long indeed.
"It's colder now. The trees are bare and the nights are long." (lyrics from a Barry Manilow song--yes, I like Barry Manilow. So shoot me.)

Day Three Hundred Twenty
November Day
This is a daily ritual with these two. Shelby always asks where Eddie is. Eddie always hides in the bushes along the path to the house, then jumps out on Shelby as she passes by. Shelby is always startled when Eddie jumps out.
After their meet and greet, they head off on their separate ways--Eddie to chase bugs, leaves, and shadows, and Shelby to dump her backpack, kick off her shoes, and chill with a Bomb Pop and some mindless TV. These two are growing up way too fast.
Looked more like an October sky today, except the trees are bare now.

Day Three Hundred Nineteen
Mathilda/Orchid And The Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah-Dette ...
a.k.a. Sarah Foy and Julia Foy, my awesomely talented nieces who are performing in Cookeville Children's Theatre production of "Disney's Alice In Wonderland (Jr.)" this week and next. Saw it today, and it's now my favorite CCT play. Everything about it was fun and enjoyable. Even though the play was full of laughs, I always get teary eyed when I watch these two perform on stage, because they always impress the socks off me with their talent. But mostly because I love them both to pieces.

Day Three Hundred Eighteen
New Kid In The Hangar
Yes, it does have wings. Aren't they pretty? The plane was totally finished. All it needs is a motor. It's never been flown.
Jerry excels at making good deals and helped Neil get a good price for this plane. I think it has a six foot wing span. It's the biggest one he has. So far. It's the same length as our love seat. I know this because the plane is now sitting behind it.
Neil and son in law Jerry went to a RC Airplane swap meet in Nashville today. This is the newest addition to Neil's "fleet" as he likes to call it.
