Day Three Hundred Twenty Six 2012

What a beautiful November afternoon to go for a stroll! Grandson Knox thinks so, too.

"Now shall I walk
or shall I ride?
"Ride," Pleasure said:
"Walk," Joy replied.

Day Three Hundred Twenty Five 2012

The first grade classes at grandson Elijah’s school performed a Thanksgiving play this morning. We really enjoyed it. Elijah is the Pilgrim in the top row looking at Granny’s camera.

Pilgrim Elijah—hunter of turkeys.

Student Elijah at his desk in his classroom, wishing he could leave school early today. No deal on that one, but at least he has a three day Thanksgiving vacation, plus the weekend, to look forward to. Sweet!

Day Three Hundred Twenty Four 2012

The sun shines and warms and lights us and we have no curiosity to know why this is so; but we ask the reason of all evil, of pain, and hunger, and mosquitoes and silly people. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

Sometimes, on the walk around the block of life…..

…..you have to stop and tie your shoe.

KNOX AND CROCKS





Grandson Knox and his mommy Kelly are here to visit for Thanksgiving week. Turned loose at Granny’s house, he loves to roam and is tempted to examine/play with/have anything that is not one of his toys. Such as Granny’s crocks (and Grandpa’s movie theater popcorn bucket). How much fun is that? Tons and tons, from the looks of it.
