Thanksgiving Pictures

This is husband CB driving us to Austin from Corpus Christi on Thanksgiving morning. It took about 4 1/2 hours to get there.

Thanksgiving Day at eldest son DC's home. Here are three of my four children, since AE is in WA State. They are third child BJ, eldest son DC, and youngest child MJ.

DC's dog Sampson came outside to see banished Troy (BJ's dog), who was not allowed in the house in Austin because he is too rambunctious.

DC and MJ looking at the view from Mt. Bonnell, which is over 700 feet above sea level--that's high in Texas! It is a natural limestone formation that stands 200 feet (!!) above the ground. The view is lovely and showed me some autumn colors that I don't see further south in Corpus Christi.

This is Troy, BJ's Brittany Spaniel. He has so much energy that he is rarely still, which must be why he is so skinny. This was taken today at our home in Corpus Christi.

Tomorrow, the first Sunday in Advent, BJ and Troy will drive back to Houston. MJ will go back to San Antonio with her boy friend CS, whom she will take to the San Antonio Airport so he can return to school at Stanford. MJ will go back to Trinity University for the next few weeks until her winter break.

Love the pictures ... thanks for sharing. Now, I have a question for you. How did you get "followers" and blog you "follow" posted?

Great dog shots!

We don't usually have such color in Austin. It's just been a very, very good year. Most color I've ever seen in the Hill Country.
