The Day After Thanksgiving

Began in the early morning quiet before the house wakes, having pie and coffee for breakfast with Pam. Joe joined us, after getting a great, crackling fire going in the fireplace. Ahhhh, a leisurely morning! No Black Friday marathon shopping for us!

Yesterday was a day of good food, family and football! The Texan's win of their first Thanksgiving Day game was perfection (even tho the game went into overtime causing angst for everyone)! The adults watched football and the grandchildren played inside and out.

The peace and quiet before 5 year old grandson, Jayden, awakes, is nice. His exuberance for everything is enjoyable and contagious but loud! The next big thing for him is a visit to the LEGO store at the Mall. He has been fairly patient. Today, he is content to be going to the movies after lunch. After a waffle for breakfast, he is watching Puss n Boots while thumbing thru a toy flyer from the newspaper.

The deer have come into the back yard to eat corn put out for them yesterday evening. Jayden is watching them have their breakfast. The couple of mornings with a hard frost have started leaves falling and grasses turning brown, it looks like Fall is here - about time since its time to put up The Christmas tree!

 

 

 

Joe decided to put the turkey carcass out in the back yard - the far back yard. He has crows that he feeds along with other wild things. Shortly, we had a yard full of buzzards (25 at least)! Jayden was amazed, and frankly, so was I! As we backed out of the driveway, to go to the movies, buzzards were lined up on the top of our house!
